    Between him and Stan Van Gundy this should put an end to coaches being hired to both coach and be in charge of personnel.

    Yep, that'll never happen again...(I've been hearing that for 40 years.)

    I'd already heard of failed ones before I followed the NBA...then Bill Russell with the Sonics when I moved to the Northwest in 1974...later Don Nelson, etc...

    Somebody make a list.

    Do you have a bunch of people blocked? This is the 3rd thread you've started today that is already being discussed in other threads.

    I am suppose to know that it was being discussed in a thread whose title has very little to do with Thibs being fired? Sorry, but I don't read every thread and every post in this forum. And no, I don't have a bunch of people blocked. Is it just me, or are you other posters personal mod?

    Thibs should have stayed in his lane as the best defensive coordinator around...he failed as a head coach across the board..better to be the best at something than just mediocre at something else....we could use him as an assistant, that's for sure

    So they traded Butler AND fired the coach. Figured it would be one or the other....not both.

    Bucks and Pacers back-to-back, Kawhi and Kyle each missing one of those games.
