Pros:
Young, so came of coaching age in the new school, adaptable, probably open to metrics and what not
Known for being a defensive minded coach
Has at least one huge "hit" as far as youth development -- Paul George (and Stephenson too, I guess, as far as basketball ability goes)
Track record of success -- regular season, and yes while these playoffs seem to be setting up for disappointment, he went to game 7 against Miami in ECF and easily could have won series
Cons:
Obviously this meltdown is not good.
Has problems corralling his locker room apparently -- fights at practice and what not. Hopefully we won't fill ours with Lance Stephensons and mentally frail Hibberts. Knowing Jazz philosophy and mentality, we would a) not be cool with player behavior like that and b) would side with the coach
I think he's a great a candidate as any. Would definitely be in running for any job if he's fired though. Let's hope he's fired. I think our situation would be attractive to him (unless he wants to rejuvenate his "win now" coaching image. We might be too far down the ladder).
Pacers fired Carlisle, dude wins a title. Let's make it a trend.
