Stotts Steps Down

[JayMKE]

I wonder how Horst feels. All reports are he handpicked Stotts to help with Griffs lack of experience and offensive background. I wonder how he's feeling now that his guy is gone

Thanking god he got Dame and isn’t being burned in effigy outside the Fiserv Forum.

I'm also really curious on the logistics of the offense now. Do we still run the scheme Stotts spent all offseason & camp installing? Do we change it up last minute? Do we hire someone to come in and run a completely different offense?

Very proud of this board. We railed off 32 pages in 12 hours.

And we immediately cut through the PR flack stuff, to discuss potentially serious issues within the organization. And had access to a Stotts family friend who has an 18-year posting history on RGM.

Forum 21 for the win.

Do we have any proof that he’s not actually Stotts?

Yea I'm sure he can, obviously someone is going to run the offense. But I guess my question at this point is more logistical and something we won't see until the season gets going, but do they still run the offense Stotts has spent the offseason installing or scrap all that and change it up to something different? Prunty ran a different scheme in the past than Stotts did. Do they bring in someone else to put in a different scheme? I'm mostly over the disappointment of losing Stotts now, but I have logistical questions on where this goes

If you were taking a multiple choice quiz in a management training and it gave this scenario, "yell at him so he knows who's boss" would be like the 'funny' option that you rule out first.

Lol true.

But there is a plausible scenario where they have already had a private conversation or there were multiple times where AG felt undermined leading up to this and this was the result of frustration boiling over.

There’s also a plausible scenario where the “yelling” wasn’t all that dramatic or that big if a deal for an NBA practice floor, they don’t work at a bank.

To be fair, there’s an equally plausible scenario where it was underlying frustration and this was a bad overreaction that was handled poorly.

This thread is ridiculous lol.

As I make my way through this cringey train wreck of a thread, this is undoubtedly the best post I've read. Cheers and have a great weekend.

[chonestown]

The one thing I will say about this is Stotts was the long-term wingman of George Karl and found AG abrasive.

Which is legitimately shocking to me. Had no idea Terry freaking Stotts had such a cult following.

I tbink its more that 3/4 of this board didnt want AG as the HC so everything he does from naming beas as the starting 2 to this incident with a AC whose nane was stotts will be heavily critisized with those same 3/4 of the people putting 100% of the blame on AG.Stotts could of said FU.. to AG which he basically did and it would still of been AGs fault cause hes a rookie HC

Seems like only yesterday in the eyes of Bucks fans Stotts was evil Dr. Smallball destroying the prospects of young Andrew Bogut. Other than by Epicurus and a handful of others, he was universally reviled.

Maybe we only hate people when they're head coach.

1.) I agree with 50% of the premise. He disrespected his boss. We have no proof that AG didn't pull him in private multiple times.
Eventually as your boss if I try to handle a situation privately and you continue to try to be the head man in charge you will be put in your place.

2.) I don't think if it was ANYONE but Stotts this would be 4 pages. If it was anyone who was a head coach for years and joined our inexperienced head coach (yes I know he is extremely experienced as an assistant) then left abruptly that would be at least half of what it is now. Throw in the fact that he used to coach in Milwaukee, also coached Dame, and was an excellent assistant coach (but horrible, HORRIBLE head coach) makes it 30+ pages.

Not a good look for somebody with a PhD in “leadership”

Maybe it’s actually the opposite.

[ABucksFan]

Wait, Stotts family member came on here? Where is the post lol, I don't want to go back and try to find it.

[Ron Swanson]

I think the weirdest thing for me is that so many people still have this fundamental misunderstanding about how much input/responsibility an offensive assistant has. Some of the arguments put forth makes it seem like a lot of people essentially thought Stotts was gonna operate as the play-caller (aka basically the de-facto head coach on offense), and that plus their initial misgivings about Griffin resulted in giving his departure this out-sized impact on the team's championship fortunes. I'd argue if that's what you believe, then ironically you're vindicating AG because that situation was always going to be extremely untenable...

[Brewhoopfan]

Video of the breaking point. Apparently, AG is a Bostitch man. Makes sense.

[RogerMurdock]

Woke up in a cold sweat about 30 minutes before my alarm was set to go off this morning, panicked that there are no professional coaches left on the Bucks' staff that know a single thing about offense. Without Stotts, how will a player as new to the team as Lillard even know which basket to shoot at?
