The one that his assitant told him was probably a foul and Nurk told him "I barely touched him."?

Meh. Idk I think he shoulda challenged that.

In his defense it did look like a foul. I thought it was for sure live. But if Nurk is swearing to you it wasn’t, you should trust him in a situation that critical with 3 free points and Nurk’s third foul on the line.

it was a border line call but you gotta show trust in Nurk in that situation. We needed Nurk bad and even if we lost the challenge at least it would have shown that Terry had his player’s back. Unfortunately it was probably hard for him to analyze all this on the spot... he didn’t realize how not making that challenge likely would cost him his career. Kinda sad tbh
 
Matter of fact i don't even post here at all anymore because of this kind of thing and i will be gone again in about two minutes.

Rest assured. I'll bump the thread to keep you all irritated. Might even have to link the thread to the "Fire Kidd, Billups, DeAntoni, ect" thread that will surely come around.

Just because you haven’t posted in that thread in while doesn’t change the fact that you did the exact same thing you are telling this guy not to do. Oblivious much?

Stotts said Nurk told him "I barely touched him."

Hearing the player who was called for the foul confirm he did touch the shooter (which is typically a foul), but that he didn't touch him that much, shouldn't have given him much confidence. Not to mention the handful of times Nurk claimed to have never touched a guy, ask Stotts to challenge, only to lose the challenge after realizing Nurk's assessment of his actions was inaccurate. Ignoring Dame would be one thing, but Nurk lost the benefit of the doubt a long time ago.

Had we known the team was going to meltdown at the moment, maybe it would've be worth ignoring was Nurk said and go for it, but that certainly isn't wasn't cost them the game.
 
It went down fucking hill from that moment. How many times did Stotts not even use his challenge, the guy looks like a deer in the headlights every time Dame isn’t in god mode, like what should we do now. Good riddance.

If that's your concern, you need to put Olshey on blast, not Stotts. It is Neil's job to yank an ineffective coach.

p.s. I agree with you on most of your "vaccine" positions. I'd be more confrontational about it if I thought it would help, but I think it makes it worse.

I highly doubt we hire a coach with a DV conviction, not that I don’t believe in second chances, I just don’t see it happening. Neil will hire his guy. Billups.

This has always been the hardest thing for me to wrap my head around. How someone could think Stotts is SO bad and accountable for all the mistakes made by players underneath him, yet not hold the GM to that exact same standard regarding coaching.

Who also has a checkered past.

For the record: I agree on the second chances part (in general).
 
Stotts was a far better coach than I thought he'd be. I have been pleasantly surprised. A class act through and through, and our best coach since Dunleavy (maybe even Adelman).

His support of this team, this city, and the histories of both are just incredible.

You'll be missed Terry Stotts...

What’s the checkered past from Billups? Misdemeanor theft while in college for taking video rental coupons from book covers in the campus bookstore while in college?

pfffffff

Obviously Terry Stotts not only was a very good person but he coached with only the highest integrity.
Never once did you hear him throw a player under the bus. He always supported his players and the city of Portland. His ideals were focused on team and human growth as well as trying to be the very best on and off the court.

I'm surprised this thread has not been started yet. This is a place to bring up the positives.

Thats class.

Well said. And i concur.

Thats awesome what he did for your nephew.
 
This thread was never about Stotts being a great coach. I understand the flaws and the reasons people wanted a new coach.

This thread was only about a great guy and the fact that he gave everything he had for the community and the team.

Except for DJJ I guess

People on here threw DJJ under way more buses than Stotts did. They guy missed his first six or so dunk attempts and couldn't hit a three. Stotts said DJJ knew what was best for the team.
Do you really think ES didn't know what he was doing either? Seriously?
 
The man is a great example on how to stay classy and always work hard to improve. His team overachieved quite often.
 
Stotts is a nice guy. This is true. He also became a shitty coach. That is also true.

Gotta admit I'm glad this run is over. I also got to admit i was ready for him to be gone before this season even started but was hoping the roster changes would help.

Exactly stotts is gone. You should bann any thread with stotts. It was the darkest hour in history. A decade of pain and suffering with stotts. 9 years i will never get back. I have right to be frustrated with people creating appreciation threads about him its so sickening.
