Okay, Fabbs -- since you think Pop is a mouth-breathing moron who should be fired, surely you have some realistic idea about who the franchise should hire to replace him, right?
Go.
Watch the meltdown after this:
So what's your point, Fabbs?

Go.
By the way, you know who has 5 first round exits in 21 playoff appearances (including a loss as a #1 seed to a #8 seed)?
Pat Riley.
When FWD is sounding off on you, it's a sign that you're a special kind of poster.
Come on, El Nono -- confine yourself to reasonable takes around here.Thanks for the numbers. It was a nice refresher that Pop, flaws and all, is one of the best in the business.
It's also like saying who has the most Super Bowl losses. Yeah, it's a loss, but there's something to be said about making it there in the first place.
Pop is the best coach who is currently coaching in the league. Nobody will argue this. He might have his quirks or nuances, but they've worked more times than not.
A lot of luck goes into winning in the playoffs, not just preparation, talent, or skill.
In this most recent series loss to Doc Rivers?
Winning coaches would have been:
I would say your grandmother.
Mr Sheffield the Jr High science teacher and basketball coach.
About 25 current NBA coaches.
Tim Duncan
The lead singer for Hot Bi Chicks
T_Parks place of purchase for his custom made pants, the plant supervisor
A hot dog vender at any MLB game currently.
Brilliant dodge. Bravo, Fabbs! You've mastered the art of ing in all sorts of unreasonable ways while managing to offer absolutely no answers. It's a real skill you've got there.
Listen Numby, if you want to change the subject on a thread, fine.
That i do not insta respond to that change, deal.
BTW i do believe a number of those i listed could and would have coached the Spurs past this years Clippers.
The "Who could ever replace the great and powerful Pop" has been discussed before and i've answered.
Awesome. So you should have no problem identifying a reasonable candidate to replace Pop. Should be on the tip of your tongue.
Have some courage; name some names -- you can even use your creative re-spellings and witty word play! Ah, the opportunity that you have!
^ThisThanks for the numbers. It was a nice refresher that Pop, flaws and all, is one of the best in the business.
Oh what was the subject of this thread again?
Here is a poster who, on a Poll vote of 60 - 100 scale voted for Pops Basketball IQ in 2015 as:Thanks for the numbers. It was a nice refresher that Pop, flaws and all, is one of the best in the business.
"75-79 Nah he made some pretty bad mistakes"

Does that sound like "one of the best in the business"?
I don't get what's your point? That was a vote for a particular series, and sure, Pop made mistakes.
When you look at his entire body of work though, mistakes and all, he's pretty darned good, wouldn't you agree?
a. Was actually for 2015.
b. yes his entire career the 5 les are okay. As FWD notes, a good coach would have gotten 10 (i say 8 or 9) out of Prime Duncan GNob etc, but he did secure 5.
To you that excuses 2015s handing it to Doc Rivers and the Kia/State Farm s?
That thread asked "Rate Pops Basketball I.Q. in Clippers series". This thread is looking at more than 2015. It's no surprise you would get different responses, especially in light of the numbers.
29 coaches "make mistakes" every season, only one "gets it right". That's just the nature of compe ive sports.
If you think Pop blows, that's perfectly fine, that's your opinion. I don't think the numbers as presented bear that out.
I also said it in the poll thread: Pop scheming was good enough to create a ton of open looks for us, he can't be responsible for not knocking them down.
Did I also think he made mistakes? Sure. Is that the whole story? I don't think it is.
I personally rank Phil Jackson #1, and Pop #2 as far as coaches in modern times. I think Phil was actually the guy that had Pop figured out. Even then, Pop did beat him a couple times, which goes to show that talent has very likely a louder voice in these matters.
4-1 Phil.
2003 was the only year Pop beat Phil head to head.
More talent then prime Duncan GNob and co?
No way. Popped did have a similar quitter at ude in 2008 about subbing in Brent Barrdog for 60% Manu like this years "we wont win without Parker" nonsense.
Manu played but was never right for the grizz series. And even though we should have won and pop coached awful it still was against a higher seed and a good team this yr. So he really doesn't have any real bad 1st round losses.
Always the same once the Spurs started playing well he cried about the refs and we couldn't get a call the rest of the series. phil!
I meant that game one Manu missed that series, that was HUGE. If he was healthy and played the whole series we win that one in 6 IMO. I agree with what you said though, we played the higher seed this year and they had HC so that is not such a horrible loss some make it out to be.
Yup...people like to rag on the Buffalo Bills for losing 4 straight Super Bowls back in the 1990s, but forget that it means the Bills won 4 straight AFC Championships, a notable accomplishment.
