Ya'll won't have to wait until Pop retires to get Avery back!

So Pop was outcoached by a ty coach. Thanks.

I don't agree. Many will be unwilling to hire him and I don't see him going to any black holes (sacto, twolves, etc). Right now he is a typical one-and-done type of coach who is going to have to coach his way back to a nice job by riding someone else's pine (i.e. PJ).

He most resembles Paul Westphal - former player, taken under HC's wing, becomes HC with a weath of talent, goes to Finals in 1st year and loses, was fired soon after (Westphal lasted just 3.5 years).

The funny thing about that is, Westphal is currently on AJs bench and would most likely be the iterim HC if AJ is fired.

How do you figure many will be unwilling to hire him? He's been great for Dallas, sure they choked with Miami (more the players) and GS last yr (bad match up). Not many coaches out there who are better IMO.

You can have Avery back. He is the stupidest coach I've ever seen.

Doesn't that oldest kid look way too much like Barkley?

What has he done, exactly? He was handed a finalscaliber team, he completely lost them in the finals, he was unable to overcome Nellie's tactics in a 7-game series - which Nellie's tactics NEVER work in a 7-game series, he can't keep his owner from trading away a future superstar and the best shot they have of defending Duncan for an allstar on his last legs, he takes his best facilitator who is that superstar they traded their future for out the last 30 seconds of the game for Terry who decides to drive instead of dishing to a completely wide open Stackhouse in the corner, he continually sticks his little foot in his mouth and gives the Spurs more bulliten board material than they know what to do with...

IMO you need to cash in your IMO for a new one; Avery ain't done squat.

Yeah, maybe the Mavs will hire Nellie back.
