Shaw blows. He makes Jacque Vaughn look like Phil Jackson.

And Clifford taking the team to the playoffs this season is just.. ugh. I don't see how anyone should/could/would brag about this season so far. Its an embarrassment on all accounts. We may as well hate on every single guy who didn't return our phone calls or turned us down - but that'd mean we'd be holding up a "this guy sucks" sign for the overwhelming majority of the year. Hating on Shaw for our dumpster fire not being interesting as a job opportunity is a bit silly imo.

It has nothing to do with him turning us down -- it's how he responded afterwards, including comments to the media that essentially insinuated that he "wouldn't have a chance" here in Charlotte. In response to why he turned down our offer, he said:

"I want to be in a situation where I have a chance," Shaw said. "Usually when you come into your first head coaching job, you don't get to dictate what the situation is going to be. But you want a chance and an organization that has a game plan going forward that's sustainable and where you have some pieces of value where you can put things together and get on the fast track."

I'm sorry, that's disrespectful, especially coming from someone with no head coaching experience.

He took over the reigns of a damn near 60-win team, led them to 36 wins, and is on pace for an even worse record this year. Meanwhile, the team that where he "wouldn't have had a chance" because it didn't have a "game plan" to get things going "on the fast track," they went from the league's worst team to a playoff team during that time.

Apparently his skills at predicting the future are on par with his abilities as a head coach.

meh

of all the things to get pissed off about in sports, someone being blatantly honest about your organization isn't one of them. a blown chance > no chance.

Does any of this surprise anyone with the way he disrespected us when our job was open? I'm not surprised he threw his whole team under the bus.

at the end of the day Shaw thought he was hot **** when he hadn't done a damn thing in the league. I don't know if he is a good coach or not but in that situation you don't burn any bridge or throw an organization under the bus it makes you come off like an arrogant, entitled douche and can come back to bite you in the ass down the line. It's unprofessional and immature plain and simple. He probably wouldn't do the same now because he's been eating some humble pie the last couple years.

I'm not pissed off about it because we were a dumpster fire but it was a very unprofessional move.

Here I was thinking that it was the reason Gary Neal was getting so much playing time. :roll:

No Faried is handy. I have a feeling he would have tore us a new one tonight.

Instead I think it will be Chandler (not the hot one with the first name) who will put about 30 up on us.
