    Did anyone know jlprk in either grammar school, high school or college? Yes, I've known of a few Lannys.

    Nope. I think he will be offered a number of jobs but he ain't looking for one.

    That information is tough to come by. He doesn't let much get out.

    Oh really? Honestly I never even realized till Riverman kinda talked about his life in that post.

    Does he no comment it when asked or something? I wonder what the big deal is…

    Stotts peaked in 15/16 as a Blazers Head Coach imo, when the Team got the 2nd Round with a average Roster at best and had a good fight against the 73-9 Warriors. We won 49 games in 17/18 but we brutaly got swept by New Orleans, and the WCF was due to the right side of the bracket. Okc Was pretty bad coached, every coach would had attacked Kanter but luckily they didn’t because Westbrook is a dumb player who wanted smoke with Dame, and Dame was playing amazing in that series. And Denver in the 2nd round was young and inexperienced. Against Golden State he did a very bad job. And in the last two seasons his coaching was really really bad, other players were laughing about our defense.

    Terry has maintained complete radio silence since he walked away from the Blazers....Orlando and Indiana media have written articles about how much they want him but Terry hasn't aired anything in the media in response that I can find....he might just be done with the grind and who could blame him?

    He wrote a goodbye message to the Blazers organization, but why would he say something after? When does any coach that just got fired try to maintain a place in the spotlight?

    usually they will respond to the Orlando or Indiana media when they are targeted...Terry hasn't responded...now Rick Carlisle is on the hot seat and Terry could easily go back there...he's probably retiring...

    Why would he do that? None of the candidates we are interviewing have said anything.

    Your logic makes no sense to me. Carlisle still has a job.

    people being targeted is pure speculation, has nothing to do with logic....just scuttlebutt around the offseason rumor mill and Mike D'Antoni did say he wanted to coach in Portland....Jason Kidd and Juwan Howard said they don't....that's candidates saying things

    That article only talks about Terry Stotts and his wife Jan. It says "they do not have children" but i do not know about his life before hand and if he had ever had any children at all?
    He is a pretty private person about most things in his life.

    Who is Jeff Stotts? He is an NBA injury analyst, 25 years younger than Terry Stotts. His son?
