Good for Nate! I would much rather see a team promote an assistant coach rather than rehashing the crop of fired coaches.

Surprised that the Coonin A Smith didn't comment on this. Saying "look another black coach fired and was replaced by a white man"

Happy for Nate, who we saw was a key element to what the Raptors were doing.

Sir I couldn't agree more with your surprise over this bizarre post. Where did all that come from and why?

But with all due respect I wish you hadn't addressed him as "Bubba" It easily could be interpreted as an offensive hillbilly stereotype and dilutes your message. Perhaps you didn't mean it or perhaps you did. :)

Being that you are using the C-word incorrectly (a coon would be someone doing the opposite of smith...i.e acting like race isn't an issue in places it is to appease white america) you probably aren't the authoritarian on whether or not race "has something to do with it".
