Having triano is not going to fix our problem. We need better players to fix the problem, sam shouldnt have been fired. I admit he had **** plays but what is this going to accomplish? Not going to fix our perimeter D, not going to help Kapono.


What's the point of having a freaking coach if it's all up to the players? The coach tells them what to do and teaches them his strategy.

Smitch SUCKS at coaching and this has been he case ever since he started out with the Raps. He should have been fired years ago and he's lucky that he lasted this long.

Nice... Let Triano play out the season, and hire JVG or Flip in the summer.. We need somebody experienced now, no more rookie head coaches..

I hope he does get a chance. There must be a reason Triano has a ton of respect.


Me too. I give respect to anyone who puts up with Mitchell and doesn't quit for that long. Actually, I didn't hate Mitchell. But I knew he had to go.

I saw an interview with Triano recently and he looked a lot more confident than I remember him being. It's just a gut feeling, but I think he'll be a good coach. And given that he knows the players so well, is probably our best option for this season.

i am not gonna praise colangelo for this because the timing is odd and it should have been done a while ago. The roster is still flawed but this move was neccessary too.

LOL yes for firing the guy that he gave a contract extension too when almost everyone else knew it was a mistake. Yes he did the right thing by firing him but to make him out to be some kind of genius he is not.
