On the opposite spectrum...I think Joerger got fired today because he didn't play Skal when he was with the Kings. That trade really came back to bite them last night.
From Zach Lowe's article about post-season awards, in the Coach of the Year section: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26481556/zach-lowe-2018-19-nba-awards-ballot-winners-tight-races
The trade wasn't the coach fault it was Divic that made the trade. But of the coach has to take some fault for not playing him. Oh yea I believe Divic got extension.
You right he didn't make the trade I also said he didn't play him too. But that probably wasn't why he got fired though.
Regular season accolades are nice. Would be even nicer to get a win....even series win in the Playoffs. 11-24.....this is a career long thing.
