I thought he was a fine coach, I really did. Great X's and O's guy. But NOT a players coach. They didn't always play hard for him. I never knew anyone hated him??

I think he was more interested in being the next Pat Riley. Had quite an ego on him too. From what I remember the players didn't really respect him very much or buy into his philsophy.

From his standpoint, he did everything right and the players did everything wrong. Plus he wasn't a very good defensive coach.

I've never thought of it as a hatred for Bob Hill. More than anything, I feel sorry for Bob Hill inasmuch as he's never seemed to be able to let go of his firing in 1997. The rehash of the circumstances isn't important to me -- whatever the reasons for his termination, it's somewhat pathetic to me that he was still expressing his distress over that decision in 2005 or 2006. I realize that he thinks his career could have been very different had he stayed at the helm, but 10 years is enough, I'd think.

Yeah I thought the same thing too. I heard a few recent comments from him that I considered to be 10 year old sour grapes.

Bob Hill has an ego the size of NY and coaching ability the size of Rhode Island. He is a legend in his own mind. What was said above was true: if they won, it was him; if they lost, it was the players. Allegedly, a cadre of key players went to Pop and begged him to fire Hill.

I don't hate him, but I do pity him and his inability to LET IT FUCKING GO.

Pretty hard to let go of the fact that you could have been the coach of two of the top 50 players and probably a multi-ringed Championship coach.

Not bloody likely. As Dick Motta once said of Brent Barry, "his book of defense doesn't have many pages". I don't think Bob Hill would, or could have taken the Spurs any farther than he did.
