How long of a leash should Chauncey have?

What should we do with Chauncey?

  1. Fire him - even young players deserve a good coach

  2. He should be on a short leash - if we look like we're not progressing, he should go in season

    I’d target Chris Quinn

    Ettore Messina would be my first choice if there was any way?

    because the new guys aren't improving, they're regressing. ...Chauncey has certainly shown me he's not putting an address on some glaring issues including lack of ball movement..lack of rebounding, lack of scoring in transition, all the things he preached are gone without a trace
    We create turnovers and can't comvert them into points....we miss a ton of free throws...it's not looking good at all. Maybe Chauncey is having too much fun...he keeps talking about how fun practices are. I'm sure at this point, Larry Brown wouldn't be having so much fun in practice.

    Our young guys aren't regressing they're just inconsistent. I would advise you to go and look at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's game logs from his first two seasons... young guys are inconsistent even if they're headed towards superstardom... LeBron would be the exception but even look at Kobe's first two seasons.

    We are above the league average in FT%.

    The ball movement happens when Ant and Jerami aren't pulling their shit.

    The lack of rebounding is on roster construction and has recently been magnified by Deandre's absence.

    It's not looking good at all because we don't have a good roster at all, just some nice prospects and guys who need very different players around them than they have, with the goal of winning to be at there best (Jerami, Ant, Malcolm and Deandre).

    This roster wasn't built with the intention to win, the rotations show an obvious emphasis on development. Most of you in here belly aching were spouting delusions that this team could win this season before the season started.

    The bottom line is that you think Chauncey is doing damage to our young guys and I don't. You want to pay Chauncey to sit at home and pay someone new to lose and I don't. You also thought this team had a chance in hell at winning this season and I didn't.

    I don't agree with everything River said, but we are definitely regressing. Maybe not Scoot, but Sharpe has regressed some in my eyes. He is not doing the things he should be doing to make more of an impact like he was the end of last year and the beginning of this year.

    With that said, there were injuries pushing him up the ladder. Is he simply deferring to Ant and Grant due to them being vets and if so? traded them now.


    The bigger factor though is the team seems to be regressing as a whole. I see less and less quality spacing, lack of discipline on offence, etc.

    Hey, maybe Chauncey's coaching career will mirror his playing career, and he'll be really good...for his fifth team. Trouble is, we're Boston in this scenario - the shitty Boston coached by Calipari.

    Was he that guy who, as a player, looked like a 12 year old kid?

    Sga was 10 3 3 his first year and had plenty of really off nights his first 3 seasons. Last year he simply was unstoppable. Seems that trend is likely to continue.

    We struggle big time against teams with length and athleticism. Especially without Ayton. We really don’t have much outside shooting either.

    Minnesota game is going to be another beatdown

    Should the Blazers be keeping an eye on this situation?

    I can think of no reason an established coach with a good record would want to come to Portland at this time.

    We'd either someone new (say hello Chauncey) or someone established looking to get into the NBA (the non-pick Becky Hammond for example).

    Williams and POP can be garbage teams. Are not they better coaches than that?

    EJ is right. Something is wrong on the court and in the locker room. Chemistry, if there were any, is absent now.

    The Thunder lost by 70+ points, they seem to be doing ok now.
