He deserves to be fired for his craptastic skills as a coach.
Seriously, he probably will have a worse record than last years worst record in the league.
He runs no definable offensive sets, except the high pick and roll. Other than that it's 1-on-1 ball.
Hasn't managed to teach any defense, at all, none, zip, nada, zilch, the big squadouche, goose egg, close your eyes, nothing. Runs a high school like zone, seriously. Watch it, it's hilariously sad.
Player rotations make NO sense at all, again, none, zero, zilch....and so on... There have honestly been times where, Jason Collins, Brian Cardinal, and Casey Jacobsen have been on the court for extended minutes at a time at THE SAME TIME, it's masochist basketball, I tell you.
Constantly coaches the bench, not the game, except to call the same "SOLID!" play every time down the court (any Grizz fan that can muster the will to witness this debacle of a team in person will agree with me, since it's the only thing you can hear besides the crickets and the squeak of shoes, at the forum). They really could save him from even attending the game by recording him and pushing a button and sending it over the loud speakers everytime the team transitions, or just let the 14 fans at the game yell it.
The owner of the team finally had to walk up to him during one of the home games in January and tell Iavaroni to stop playing Casey Jacobsen because he sucked so bad, he would be booed everytime he entered the game, yet for half the year he was our 6th man coming off the bench. NOT Hakim Warrick, not Juan Carlos Navarro, not Mike Conley, all of whom saw less time on the court for half the year until the owner told him to knock it off, it was Casey Jacobsen he went to. I would love to see what Casey has on Iavaroni to garner the amount of time he's spent on the court pretending to be an NBA player. This guy would have a hard time cracking the rotation of a special olympics squad.
Iavaroni was WAY OVERRATED last year and I was one of his biggest advocates last year. I was thrilled with his hire last year but, he's not a good coach.
He's probably gonna need a job in about 2 weeks, feel free to hire him, please do because the Grizz need some wins and any team with him as coach are almost automatic with him. WARNING, be prepared to have Casey Jacobsen as your starting......whatever....... on your team, apparently he has mad Iavaroni skills.
