    My sister is friends with his daughters. I just tried to call our girl but she didn't answer. She's probably gone to bed.

    :mad: wish I would have thought of that an hour ago.

    I'll call her in the morning and snoop around :)

    McHale was a fine coach. He had that Timberwolves team going once he took over before Jefferson blew out his knee.

    And while he had a losing record in 2008-09, the team performed much better after he took over (20-43, 0.317) than they did under Randy Wittman (4-15, 0.211).

    He is also good at developing big men. I'd love to see him brought in as a big man coach to work with Greg Oden on his low post moves and footwork.

    I work at Genentech. If Genentech decided to fire a top manager, would everyone taking their chemo drugs be "entitled to know WHY THE FUCK" he/she was fired? Would you refuse to take your chemo until they told you?

    I probably would not know, and I work here.

    Let's put it this way.

    Fans are not the people taking their drugs. .They would be among the investors (in this case, financially and emotionally). If the top manager was a public figure that was one of the parties primarily responsible for the company's success, as an investor, I should know why he was unceremoniously fired and publicly humiliated.

    31% versus 21%. Who fucking cares? Both are brutal and not the sign of a "good coach".

    Absolutely right. Drugs are a necessity for the people that take them, the Blazers are an indulgence. If you are in the entertainment business - and it was shown that having an emotional connection to the individuals is important for financial success via fans voting with their wallets (See Blazers, Jail) - this was a bad, bad business decision.
