Did he get more out of his rag tag misfits surrounding Dame? The grass isn't greener holds true at times.
Stotts was better than Chauncey to this point. Still not sure he was the coach to get them to the championship but he was a very good coach.
I'm not sure I'd say that I miss him. He clearly wasn't the problem back then, but became the scape-goat for the casuals.
It was a bit of a chicken/egg situation. He clearly wasn't given a championship roster. He did fail to land us quality lottery odds on a consistent basis.
Do you miss Olshey too?!? Those dudes had a decade to try and win and they tread the waters of mediocrity almost the entire time. You don't get to stay one of the longest tenured coaches in the league when you don't win any games past the second round of the playoffs.
There is a reason he hasn’t been hired in a league that constantly plays coach merry-go-round. And he’s hardly even received interviews. The guy is booty cheeks at coaching and the league seemingly agrees with my stance.
Lakers, Hornets and Jazz from what I recall. Got passed over for new HCs from what I recall as well. Didn’t receive a single HC interview this cycle either.
I'm a huge fan of Terry...like the way he handled coaching a lot and how he managed games. He could have played rookies more but he didn't have a lot to work with out of 179 different players. I'm real happy he's with the Bucks...my favorite team in the east. I lost some confidence in Chauncey this season..he has to show me he can coach an endgame...Stotts could coach an endgame and an OT game as well as any coach out there.
I don't miss not making the playoffs for years on end...Terry just ran up against an era of Warriors domination and they beat everybody..the worst playoff in the Stotts era was the Pelicans smackdown..that one he got flat outcoached as he did his last season against the Nuggets...it wasn't all on him though...you have to make buckets to win. Terry seriously never had a bench and had to play the starters big minutes to win games...by playoff time they get gassed. That's roster composition
at least Stotts has had teams looking at him has anybody heard even a whisper any team was looking at Olshey?
