About damn time. You could tell the only reason Toronto kept this guy was cause of his Coach of the Year award.
The Raptor's coach was just fired after a near 40 point blowout..

Avery Johnson rumors coming soon.
Lately, COYs are always fired after 2 or 3 seasons.
Avery, D'antoni, Mitchel
yikes. i wonder if the replacement is that much better though.
what can these guys do after coaching besides tv...seriously, there are only so many jobs...eric mussleman has a blog...wtf? talk about an unsecure career
Every time I see a COY get fired I sigh and think about Jerry Sloan's empty trophy shelf.
He should have been fired the year before got the CoY award.
Didn't Doc Rivers get the COY and then subsequently fired....
And he deserved his award.
Mitc is a very good coach, but his players haven't shown up lately
That's not fair, but that's the business
Even before that. As mentioned, Doc Rivers. And, also Rick Carlisle and Mike Dunleavy.Lately, COYs are always fired after 2 or 3 seasons.
What were the Raptors expectations this season?..im mean they lost alot of their depth that made them good Garbajosa, Delfino, Ford. JO 4 Ford didnt make them any better IMO. I would have said 5th seed at best.
JVG at toronto would be bad for the rest of the east.
He is a defensive mastermind
Too bad Sam but there is always ESPN.
Is funny to me that Colangelo said the team was not meeting expectations? What expectations is he talking about? Does he really believe that team which has not been past the semis is going to challenge the Cavs or Boston? They can't even beat the Magic the weakest of the top 3 teams in the East.
JVG would also destroy Calderon as an offensive player.
Walk the ball up offense does not suit Bosh or Calderon.
Mitc 's an awful coach.
I think Flip Saunders would be a good fit in Toronto.
Eddie Jordan
+1
Also, I think Jay Triano can do a heck of a job; he has a high BB IQ
I like Sam. I know alot of Raptors fans liked to blame him for everything, but I think this more falls to Bryan. The team had problems beginning with the whole Jorge fiasco-- and not just about his playing that summer but moreso what happened after he got back to Toronto. He was OK to play at the end of the season but they would not play him.
Then, they decided to make TJ the scapegoat for all that started to ail the team, but he was not it. Problems were added by the repeated need to force Andrea into the line-up. Now, Rasho is a nice guy and would not cause problems, but some players were not happy with it. Now, this year, they have started him at SF to force him into the starting line-up. He is playing better- could he be any worse- but you should see him guard Carmelo.
Their biggest problem is they traded depth for O'Neal. They gave up TJ- who I still think is better overall than Jose- cut loose Delfino who was their best perimeter defender and more deserving than Jason- and traded Rasho- who has been replaced by O'Neal but is it worth it when you gave up so much to get him.
They are stuck with Humphries as really their only back-up big man and Roko, Kapono and Moon off the bench. And unfortunately they have dealt with the heart problems of their big draft pick.
I agree with you on TJ; terrific backup. good at ude, I don't why he got so much criticism in Toronto
because he was the most aggressive player on the team,
and the fans took that as being "selfish", so when they lost he'd usually get blamed by the fans
also he sucks at shooting
jay triano will hopefully be decent, he was part of the coaching team of Team USA's select team
Colangelo is a tier GM than Mitc was a coach.
But, but, Colangelo's genius in Phx changed the league. The run and gun! Oh, wait....
