Charlotte Coach

He had a grease fire pure and simple. They were horrible when he got there and I'm not sure he had a real chance. However Enes 23 points 22 rebound game came against these guys.
 
This guy was supposed to be in place to develop the talent they had even understanding that they would not be a good team. And then they panic? A bad look, and bad decision-making.

I'd be very curious to know what Cho thought of this.
 
I have a hard time envisioning Jackson coaching that team.
 
Sloan interviewed for the job last summer. He backed out at the last second. I think Sloan ends up in Charlotte. That would be fun to watch.
 
FWIW, the Jazz with the same coach and improved everything else had a worse winning percentage than last year and Ty's the guy. An organization in complete turmoil with a new coach had a winning percentage 2.5 TIMES (.106 to .256) better than last year and he gets fired. I CAN understand the former, I CANNOT understand the latter.
 
So how many openings for head coach are there? Does Jeff Hornaceck get interviewed for any of them? Sidney Lowe?

Charlotte
Cleveland
Detroit
Philly
Phoenix?
Milwaukee?
New Jersey?

Factor in having 8 (?) FA's looking out for #1 and management that wants to win while developing the young players and you have a god damned tough spot to be in.

Would Horny threatening to leave be enough for the Jazz to fire Corbin?

We should trade Ty to Charlotte for picks

I don't think that is allowed. Wish it was because it would be interesting to see what kind of offers were rumoured.

Also too bad that a college coach can walk away from his contract for a better offer, but an NBA coach can't.

Both scenarios would add to the drama of the NBA. The NBA loves drama, they should do it.

It appears like you can trade coaches.

Van Gundy's appointment Friday ended a chaotic two weeks in which the Magic fired veteran coach Brian Hill, hired Donovan and then negotiated his exodus and battled with the Miami Heat for the rights to hire Van Gundy.

And because the Heat were demanding compensation to let Van Gundy out of his contract, the deal almost collapsed.

Van Gundy flew cross-country Wednesday from Miami to Sacramento thinking he'd be the next coach of the Kings.

But when the Magic and Heat reached a deal — Orlando will send the 39th pick of the NBA draft to the Heat and give Miami the option of swapping first-round selections in 2008 — it allowed Orlando to hire the only other coach it interviewed.
