    Terry just said in the exit interviews that his staff will remain the same.

    Thoughts?

    He's sayin' the right things. More than likely, he's going to have to replace one or two of them when they take other opporutnities maybe even head coaching. David Vanterpool I'm assuming is a hot idea.

    Why not? Obviously, there are areas that need improvement, but that coaching staff took the team from 33 wins to 54 wins and all five starters had (arguably) career years. Let's see how much more improvement they can get out of these guys. Yep, they need to improve both team and individual defense, but they know that. It will give them something to focus on during the off season, summer league, training camp and preseason.

    I don't care how they do it, but the defense needs to improve drastically. If Terry wants to watch instructional videos on youtube like the rest of us, awesome, but something needs to change.

    Where are all the posters who want Stotts' #2 to be a star, bringing in new methods on defense? Or all those who want a different big man coach than Kim Hughes?

    Come out and speak! I like changes every year.

    This is horrible news if true. So bad, that I don't believe it.

    This.

    Our defense was atrocious and our bench was just as bad. They did nothing/shown nothing during the season to improve/develop either.

    We can only get so far on offense, AND there's a slim chance our 4 guys play 82 straight games again.

    We were 16th in the league defensively so we made huge improvements from the 33win year.

    Yeah; we were really bad for a while but for the season, we ended up about average.

    This coaching situation is a powderkeg, and may explode in our faces at any moment. For the love of Humanity do not let it come to that.

    I think it's great. It makes it easier for us to tweet and text him plays and suggestions during the games. He already knows what those guys are going to say, our ideas will be fresh and original.

    Our team does not have a first or second round draft pick.

    We may have 2 new players via free agency (possibly more via trades).

    Team and individual defense is the most important need of improvement.

    Stotts did a wonderful job changing our offense from what it was before. I was expecting our team to take the next step by bringing in a new assistant coach as a possible defense guru. I guess we'll see how our team defense adapts for the upcoming season.
