I'm glad that the Jazz didn't sign him as our coach. He is terrible. The Suns are a mess right now. I think it has a lot to do with his awful rotations. It's a joke what he is doing. There is zero consistency in what he does. He seems to be jerkimg around all his players. I'm guessing they are quiting on him. He doesn't seem to have any idea who he should be playing. I don't know how a player could play for him. You have no idea if you'll play or how many minutes you'll play, or what position you'll be playing.

The Suns are a train wreck.
 
He is a great example of why, to me, you should never hire someone at the pro level to be a Head Coach who has never been a head coach. All these guys ought to start at high school or jc level and work there way up.
 
Big fan of Hornacek and not all this is his fault.

But I agree. He lost that team.

This is one of the dumbest statements I've ever read on this board. And that's saying something.
 
I don't follow them that closely but I believe the GM is in part to blame (Jeff shares the blame as well) I say this because since his first year as HC it seems every move the GM has made ended up making the team worse or create tension/conflict within the team.

The GM is saying he is to blame:

Reached overseas, Sarver took full responsibility. He said the Suns lack championship culture. He said that organizational leadership is to blame, and it all starts with him. Clearly, the head coach is not the only one on the hot seat in Phoenix. “The reality is, there’s only a half dozen championship-caliber organizations in the NBA over the last 25 years,” Sarver said. “My job is to find the right people and the right culture to eventually be one of those organizations, and it starts with me. I’m not shirking responsibility. “The blame is to be shared from the top down. Our leadership needs to communicate better. It needs to provide a better culture that provides for more accountability and more motivation. We have a lot of good, young players. They need to be playing hard, aggressively and on the same page whether we win or lose. That’s what I expect going forward.” 11 hours ago – via Arizona Republic

While I agree that he is to blame, I think Sarver gets it wrong on why he is to blame. He focuses on recruiting basketball minds to create a culture of winning. It is jargon familiar to Jazz fans, and we all know how you fix it, just hire a Spurs employee and all your troubles magically disappear (ask Philly how that is working) The reasoning is bogus. The NBA rewards star players, it does not look at Franchise Culture.

Don't get me wrong, teams can improve their position by hiring good management and creating an atmosphere for their basketball employees. And they should do it because in most cases it is the only thing the teams can control. The Suns for example, did not win the lottery, and they are not a major FA destination. So the reality is they aren't winning anything any time soon. Like most of the teams in tne NBA they are the Washington Generals. So when the team fails, and the fans get anxious, you tell them it is a process of creating a company culture of Championship Caliber teams, and we will not skip any steps. Never-mind that no-one has ever laid out a step by step plan, or that the supposed pattern you are supposed to follow is completely unrealistic...

Step One- Draft the number one center in the draft.
Step Two- Wait 4 years and repeat step 1.

The ugly truth is that there are only 5-6 teams that are legitimate championship contenders, and 24-25 also-rans. And we can all pick who is who before a single basket is missed or made. The other ugly truth is that most of the 24 also-rans make enough money from ABC and Company that they don't care if the "epic show down between Curry and Lebron" has already been scripted.

Not necessarily. Who really thought GS was a championship contender last year? They were 6th in the west and lost in the first round to the Clippers. We all didn't pick the Warriors before a single basket was missed or made. That's just the most recent example.

It's not as clear cut as you are letting on.
