CP3: "Why wasn't I consulted about coaching change"

[djohn2oo8]

Paul wasn’t happy with the decision, and he certainly wasn’t pleased with being caught off guard by the announcement. He said the Hornets should have sought his and West’s input before the decision was finalized.
"I felt like, maybe somebody would have at least consulted with me and asked how I felt before it happened," Paul said by telephone Thursday night. "It’s not to get my approval, but we feel we should know about the decision before it takes place"

"You can’t put all this on Coach," Paul said.
Scott is the only coach that Paul has played for since coming to the Hornets as a first-round draft pick in 2005. They became golf partners this summer and Paul largely credits Scott for helping him develop into becoming a two-time All-Star point guard and Olympic gold medal winner.
Though Scott was a demanding coach, Paul said their relationship transcended beyond the court.
"
Coach had an open line of communication," Paul said. "Guys would feel a certain way about playing time, and Coach was always honest with you. He was always straight-forward with you from Day One."

They don't have to ask the players for their input on

[Brazil]

lol and the mess begins

[Danny.Zhu]

Well, maybe because CP3 is not in Hornets' future either.

lol son ... nice try and making the le of this thread look worse than it really is. you are trying to make it sound like Paul was demanding them to get his approval. he just simply wished they had asked his thoughts about the situation. the real quote below ..

Time for you to get a life. Do you just spend your whole day at your computer googling bad things on the hornets? This is about your 5th thread bashing the Hornets. Get a ing life, just b/c your team is completely depleted and worthless.........

[admiralsnackbar]

This could just as easily be Paul covering his ass.

[lefty]

WTF?

Why should he be consulted?

He thinks he is Jordan or what?

[2Cleva]

@Chris_Broussard CP3's statement about being upset about BScott's firing is not just PR move. i'm told he's truly not happy. N.O. is a mess, CP frustrated

[hater]

at the pissed off hornet fans in this thread

Lol, you mad much? My team at least plays with heart

[balli]

I'm never surprised by Paul's ability to act like such a little .

[Findog]

P3 is just doing the complaining he's supposed to do, no surprises here. No trash-talking or anything personal, this is just par for the course for P3.

[picc84]

Welcome to LA, Chris.

farmar/morrison/sasha for CP3 after Scott gets an assistant coach job in LA, CP demands a trade, and Mitch consults Kobe on rape advice again (memphis)

[lefty]

I don't think he is really upset or hurt.

I think he is flopping.

[Dex]

And Hornet Fan wonders why Spur Fan thinks Chris Paul is a whiny little punk.

[phyzik]

This could just as easily be Paul covering his ass.

This is the first thing I thought, Mainly because I wouldn't put it past Chris Paul to be THAT much of a little .

[Dex]

You don't fire the head coach without consulting with the Franchise player.

Too bad, so sad.

[balli]

Please, bp3's just ing for the sake of ing. It's not like he hasn't had a conflicted relationship with Byron Scott already. If Scott wasn't fired, I wouldn't be surprised if Paul went calling for his head in a few games. Dude just loves to and moan and cry like a little girl.

[Culburn369]

Dude just loves to and moan and cry like a little girl.

hmmmmmmmm.

[TheMACHINE]

its a cover up...two teams have know "quit" on Scott. Kidd didnt like him and i bet cp3 didnt either.

[balli]

hmmmmmmmm.

If I'm Scott, I go to Atlanta, and demand the head job. Paul will follow.

lol at 50% of Laker fans being butthurt over a former 80's Laker getting fired from another team's coaching job in 2009.

If there's one thing the b-ball world can count on besides bp3 crying, it's Laker fan getting butthurt and overly-protective about one of their own.

[BRHornet45]

Paul is just upset because he had a good, personal relationship with Scott. he will get over it ... most of the team is happy he is gone and West is thrilled.

[lefty]

I'm sure he is flopping

[Brazil]

WTF?

Why should he be consulted?

He thinks he is Jordan or what?

? don't get your point. He is their franchise player, it seems reasonable to me to imagine for instance Holt discussing with Tim about a Pop dismissal.
