remember when we were crying for AVERY JOHNSON,

we are complaining about our team when the nets loose 3 or 4 straight everytime i look around.they should be one of the premeir teams when you got lopez, humphries. wallace from bocats, corie evans on the boards & supposidly 2 primere guards.

but deron & joe are on again off again (joe hits the occasional jumper behind the arch but hes not prolific) personally i would put in mrshaun brooks to replace joe to spark offense & posibly have joe come off the bench.

we also see mr. oppertunist phill jackson doesnt want the job. hes no dummy.he knows his mojo is no better than the next man.

you can also add byron scott to that list, i dont understand how clevlands record is that bad with that oustanding guard play they have with kari erving & the mop (verjou) who guves decent board play. its time to apply the volture eyes at byron.

this was another couch we were itching for.

So you don't think Tom T makes a difference in Chicago?

How about Pop in S.Anton?

What about Jerry Sloan all those years in Utah??

A coach needs a few things in this league.

1. Talent.

2. Time

3. Respect.

If he doesn't get those things, it's going to be difficult.

Johnson was coach of the month for November. FIred in December. How can these things be? No time. No respect. But who are we fooling, Deron didn't respect Sloan.

Just like players, coaches have to "fit" with the team. It's called "chemistry." Not every coach is right for every situation. Doesn't make them a bad coach. Just a bad fit (see Mike Woodson in Atlanta).

I do think talent is the number one factor in the NBA for success... coaching is number two. Dealing with ego's, millionaires, and flying across the country for seven months?? Then trying to motivate and teach basketball? It takes a special mind.
