Lakers were noy gonna win it anyways. At least with a new coach we make improvement and strike next year doubt Heat make 4 straight Finals.

The Kings just won the Stanley Cup after firing their coach midseason, tbh... wouldn't be surprised if it's happened plenty more times in the NHL though, NHL coaches have the shortest leashes in sports...

Riley has won championships twice in this type of scenario.
Seriously forgot about Riley?

Many people here were not born when Riley did most of his coaching.

riley never went anywhere remote from our FO during SVG's tenure, or the tenure of anyone else including the current philibeaner coach. riley has always been acting as the regent of the team imho

I think he still does. It's different when you bring a completely new coach & system.

I think Lenny Wilkens took over a 5-17 Super Sonics team in 1978 and led them to the championship.
