Chauncey Billups

[Rastapopoulos]

...has retired. Does Olshey have a relationship with him? Did he bring him to the Clippers? Because I think he would make an excellent assistant coach.

You've got to think the Pistons would want to bring him aboard in some capacity. Maybe he'll just go into broadcasting and wait to be offered a head coaching gig.

Now here's a thread that doesn't even have an OT by it?

I think he would be a great HC. However, I think he should go the assistant route for a bit to polish himself (ala Brian Shaw).

I don't think you should be the sole judge of what deserves an OT or not, you have demonstrated poorly that you yourself even know.

 

[illmatic99]

Always thought he was overrated, tbh

Class act. Always liked him.

It's all in his first name.

Like that Beerboy guy. I agree!

And it shouldn't, because the OP clearly indicated a Blazer-related direction.

Your posts are too sensitive.

Are you quoting the league? Black coaches are always class acts, Latinos are firecrackers and white guys are gym rats/scrappy lol

Chauncey Billups was a gym rat, a cerebral player, and was sneaky athletic. How's that?

Lmfao.. Sorry, I thought you were describing Steve Blake for a second.

On the contrary. He has demonstrated EXTREMELY well that he isn't the best judge of what deserves an OT, lol.

Pity party of 1, your table is ready.

Let it go already. No one else gives a shit (hint: neither should you).

I was about to start a new thread, and this old thread popped up. This is motivated by the following sarcasm from the Athletic:

I have a feeling that they're right, and that Olshey's plan is that Chauncey will be his recruiter (and later, scapegoat).

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This thread is so old it's got a post by Denny in it...

Why isn't Jacque Vaughn being talked about more? I don't get it.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Rip Hamilton lobbying for Chauncey Billups as Blazers head coach
Rip literally cried when he and Billups were separated after being on that great Pistons team.

cuz he has a career .288 winning percentage as head coach in 226 games, while getting swept in the one playoff round he's coached? his BKN team lost every game in that series vs the Kawhi-less Raptors by an average of 21 pts.

Do you remember who was ON that team? It was like when Doc Rivers got a Magic team led by Darrel Armstrong to the brink of the playoffs. They were supposed to be the worst team in the league!

i know it's simplistic and without nuance, but i don't want a guy who is that accustomed to losing.

3 seasons in Orlando averaging 19 wins a season. Come on.

I think Billups will be final stage of hiring but Jody will axe it due to his history. I know he grown it was million years ago but that he still has that one bad thing that will hang over him.

So why wasn't he charged?

So why wasn't he charged?

They paid off the accuser... not to speak ill of the dead but the same reason Kobe never got brought up on charges.
