OT: 2021 Coaching Carousel

No they don't

Did you talk to them?

[Pakuni]

Just going by what the article says

Narrator: It's not what the article says

[tower912]

Did you talk to them?

Illogical.

[asdfasdf]

Haven't seen this mentioned yet. Chris Mack just canned two assistants, one of them being Luke Murray. Experienced assistant, Big East ties, from Chicago area... We could do worse than having Bill Murray roaming the FF at halftime next year.

Illogical.

I can read an article and make a confident statement too. Alas we're all reading the same article. Save the "insider" talk unless you have a scoop.

He's great in comedies. Natural fit.

Louisville has a bad year and Mack makes the changes necessary to show the fan base he wants to do right. Even if that means firing long time assistant Luke Murray.

I wonder what Wojo does?

I sense that Wojo-Dukiet will develop a huge smile as the slurpers circle the wagons in his defense and he feels the admin pushing their heads further up his kielbasa. They are all hoping to weather this current storm for a couple weeks until everybody becomes bored. After all, there is always next year.

Oh, give me a break.
If Wojo woke up tomorrow and fired Justin Gainey and Rob Judson, you'd be here screaming that he was throwing his assistants under the bus. Which is what Mack is doing.

You give me a break. I would applaud him for looking to move in a different direction and acknowledging change is needed to save his job. 

I don't expect him to have the balls to do it.

Agree.  Presutti and Judson should be sent packing.  Unfortunately, because we've already lost Killings, Presutti's probably taken on some of his workload.

A new name swirling at Minnesota: Mike Boynton. No ties to Minnesota or the Midwest, but there is a big media push for them to hire a minority coach.

Lot of smoke about Stevens to Indiana right now.

How would that work logistically. Can't personally remember a current NBA coach accepting a college gig mid-season

I don't know a mutual parting of the way would hurt him and the Celtics

Based on Titus and some Reddit posters with supposed connections, there's the IU piece and then negotiating with the Celtics. It does sound like both sides might be ready for a fresh start.

Except he's literally said on multiple occasions he isn't taking the job. He wouldn't be the first coach to say one thing and do another, but he's seemed pretty firm. Not sure why any coach would willingly choose college over the NBA.

Because there's a real chance Stevens gets sh!t canned at the end of the season.

[cheebs09]

What's Stevens going to say at this point unless it's all buttoned up? If it falls through with Indiana, it's tough to go back to your current job after saying you were interested in leaving. If you say you are staying and leave, you get added to the list of hundreds of coaches who did he same thing.

I'm still doubtful it happens, but it sounds much different than it would have 3 years ago. Whether it's Indiana or another pro job, it doesn't sound like he will be the Celtics coach next year.

Sometimes the writing is on the wall.  Cash your checks while they are still available.

Odd.  Other than money, I think OK St is a better job.  More history and recent success.  Location. Minneapolis has produced a lot of talent recently, but OK St is as close to multiple hubs (Dallas, Memphis, Houston) as Minnesota is to Chicago.  More of a wide open conference after KU.

If the Celtics fired Stevens, he'd have another NBA gig before the start of next season.

[SERocks]

They aren't firing him.  So either get used to waiting for a year, or find a different hobby.

Glad to say this post was wrong and my hobby was rewarded.  WOO!

A friend of mine who lives in Ohio just posted this on Facebook:

"I am completely and utterly DONE with the Chris Holtmann era. It's the exact same thing every game, every season, and when it ends up biting them he always pretends it's completely inexplicable and something that just can't be fixed. Every single time one of his teams gets put in a high-pressure situation it crumbles. Every. single. time. If only there was someone who is getting paid millions of dollars to correct that potentially fatal flaw!"
