Sack of hammers > Dwane Casey

Good to see Stotts getting recognition.

It totally cracks me up that the two interim coaches no one has even heard of are ranked above Byron Scott (Lakers) at 29 and Derek Fisher (Lakers East) at 30.

I find it fascinating that Olshey is ranked higher amongst his peers than Stotts. IMHO, Stotts is far more important to the team's current success.

Morey is hardly a better GM than Olshey. I would actually put him in the top 3, especially with what he built with nothing to trade with.

More good coaches out there than good GMs

we're moving in the right direction. im really happy with the team and where it is, i dont think ive been this happy with the overall team since early 90s

With all the talk around here you'd think stotts should be rated in the bottom ten of the league. Just goes to show you the grass ain't always greener on the other side

Yep, yep.

Nah, that's just a few VERY vocal detractors with an agenda. They should be sentenced to their own very personal hell with an eternity of Nate pacing the sidelines with his arms crossed calling the SAME play continuously, no matter what the situation, no matter who he has in the game, no matter who the opponent is.

Some of us, many I'd say, actually think we're lucky have a capable coach like Terry Stotts. You can count me in that less boisterous group.

I would take Hornacek, Karl, Van Gundy, and Snyder (and maybe others as well) way before McHale. Dude flat out sucks.

We want Neil to be an underdog..it keeps him hungry and on the lookout for those tweaks that make the difference.
