Wow. Paul is actually more patient than most owners, Nate was pretty high on the seniority list also.

I don't know where people are coming from when they talk about how PA will just dump Stotts to get a "developmental coach" or a "defensive coach" or a whatever coach. The Cho sacking maybe? He was patient as fuck with McMillan. Stotts has done a good job with what he has had to work with. I think he'll be here through Lillard's contract.

I want a new coach, too... but realistically, we have him for the foreseeable future.

Did you just want to fit in?

I just looked at the 6 coaches who've been at their jobs longer than Stotts.

All of their teams currently have winning records.

Yeah I didn't mean it as a slight on Stotts; I meant it as an indicator of how other NBA teams perform with consistency in place from management on down. The constant hiring and firing of coaches hurts a teams chance to win.

Players come and go, but a true dynasty is built on a foundation of consistency and the only way for that to happen is to have it from the top down. An owner must put faith in the GM that he has anointed and likewise for the GM to the coach and ALL THREE should be a part of all decisions regarding the players on the team. Without that a coach's back is against the wall from day one and the players will dictate the philosophy of the team. This will be very evident in Houston. They want some miraculous turnaround and they will win some more games, they are too talented not to, but they aren't going to win a ring over even get out of the first round if they make the playoffs I thing, because the players dictate everything.
