    Is he the second worst coach in the league behind mike brown? I think so. But this is more than a Nate problem. I think Roy hasnt shown any leadership and his unproffesional comments in preseason and last week left a bad taste in my mouth....

    Anyways onto the replacement.

    I would give Mike Fratello a chance, seriously,

    He whined that he cant coexist with miller, and that blake knows where to be all the time, and that he needs the ball in his hands to be succesful, etc.

    You got your money, now nut up and play, and stop shooting 40% from the field all-star

    Just think he has gotten a pompus attitude lately

    Where is the all of the above option, or the many of them option?

    JVG has been my choice for awhile now.

    I also think Pritchard would be a great choice.

    Can you direct me to the quotes of him whining that he can not co-exist with Miller?

    Really? KP? i put him up as a joke, dont think he knows alot of the X's and O's of an NBA offense, plus it would take away from his effectiveness of his GM duty's

    I do agree all of the above should be added

    Avery is the only one of this list that would be a good alternative to Nate imho. JVG? Talk about ugly basketball. This confused Blazers team looks like naked synchronized swimming compared to the brand of basketball JVG coached teams play.

    JVG. He'll demand defense, but I think he's a little bit better at maximizing his player's talents. Who knows.

    Where's Hubie Brown on that list? He's only 76, rested and ready.

    KP won a championship in the ABA. No, it's not the NBA, but it's professional basketball nonetheless. I think he knows X's and O's just fine.

    He is? Is that why the Rockets never got out of 1st round with younger Yao and T-Mac?

    Please - SVG - I can understand, but JVG? Nate's ISO plays look like poetry in motion next to the JVG teams.

    It would be funny to see him dancing on a stomping SHAQ leg however. Other than that - no so much.

    Hey, he won coach of the year at 70. Just bring him in to right the ship and then replace him with Fratello when his health "gives out". Isn't that the standard pattern? Hire Hubie, team plays great for a while, he gets bored and resigns for unspecified "health concerns" and Fratello come out of the booth to replace him.

    No different that POP taking over in SA. KP has head coaching experience at the professional level, and has been successful at the professional level.

    Yeah, they got to play Utah - a team that Adelman's Yao-less and T-Mac less just dismantled in Utah 2 days ago.

    Please. JVG is less creative than Nate...

    In my opinion, I believe Gundy is the perfect coach for our team. He is a great motivator, plus he is very good at designing defenses to cover all holes or weaknesses. Also, I think he is probably the most open coach to help develop a team designed around a good center and great SG.
