Which coach is the worst coach?

I have my issues with Hornacek and his rotations but I am glad we don't have Garnett and Prince in our starting five.

Regardless of where we finish, 3rd or 7th or in between, it's all luck. I think we will lose there. They are at home, playing people tough, two stars in the making, and we are playing with mostly scrubs.

You still want to be as high as possible in the draft so the FO has the opportunity to select who they want. Personally, I think Simmons, Ingram, Dunn, and Bender make up a clear top 4 in this draft. I'm hoping we get one of those. Wouldn't mind Ellison either, but picking 7th would not be ideal to me at all. Given the makeup of this draft, I think we'd be way better off picking 3rd than 7th.

“That’s when you wish someone would at least knock somebody over or something, take a foul,” Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. “Instead, we just let teams do what they want. Until we get a tougher mind-set that way, it’ll be the same.”
.
What a sad statement. Hornacek doesn't have a clue, I would even pay to see Steve Nash like a HC next year.

I'm just saying if you are in the top 5-7, you still have a pretty good chance of a jump into the top 3. Moving up 1 or 2 spots gives you a slightly better chance, but to me, not quite enough to always hope we lose. If Booker or Warren get really hot, and lead us to a win, I would be happy to see it.

What's sad about that? And if you want to see things get even worse, we could hire Steve Nash to coach. Good for the tank I guess.

"At least knock somebody over or something ". This is sad... it's that an statement from the Morris Brothers or what?

Hornacek is a shame of a coach. Game after game we can see that he doesn't know how to motivate players, horrible rotations and he changes his mind over and over again about all type of circumstances. Players LOVE to play against us because it seems that they hate Hornacek, probably he is one of our biggest problems. He does not receive any love from former players, that it's even weird.

Hornacek has failed, another coach ( like Steve Nash if he wants) deserves the opportunity.

Sure, another coach deserves an opportunity, but not Nash. I mean do you want Barkley coaching the team because he played for us? We need to scour the college guys....I would probably watch the college season and see what mid major coach vastly overachieves with the talent he has, like Brad Stevens did, and hire him.

Yeah, probably it's a good option to sign a college's coach...but it can be amazing to sign the symbol of the franchise for a decade who was an outstanding "coach" on the court and he is a great communicator too.

Sir Charles is not a hard worker and he is a hot-headed guy.... come on, he is not even an option.

The Barkles is stuck reliving the bygone era of a big men dominated league and hates jump shooting small ball teams. He would be against having Stretch 4s and would want a paint clogging Twin Tower frontcourt with terrible spacing
