    Yeah, I'd definitely be bringing in a better coach.

    NBA is 82 games, it's a marathon not a sprint.

    Guys in the NFL/NBA/etc all practice much less than those 18 year olds that basically need zero recovery time, as they should.

    Not saying Billups is a perfect coach or anything, but virtually none of the Blazers problems now or long term have anything to do with coaches or practice. All the problems are poor rosters, lack of talent, overpaid contracts, few draft picks, bad GM management, and one of the worst NBA owners.

    So we can win 22 games instead of 21?

    I just don't see why that matters.

    Good luck finding a "good" coach that wants to join a tanking franchise with little talent on the roster and poor management.

    yeah, I think that's very true

    I don't think Billups is a good coach, but it probably doesn't matter much. I guess maybe a little for the development of Sharpe/Scoot/Clingan

    I would think the Blazer negatives for any coaching candidate extend beyond management and include ownership. It's probably impossible to look at Portland's 'Owner-->Management-->Coaching-->Talent' flow chart and not see dumpster fires on every level

    To develop the young guys... Good young developmental coaches join talented young teams all the time.

    This times 10. If Portland wins Capture the Flagg, watch how many coaches throw their hats in the ring trying to get the Portland gig.
