Stotts was probably talking to Dame and Giannis like, "I know. I know, I know, I know, just be happy I'm here."
'Stotts! Team huddle. STOTTS! TEAM HUDDLE!'
"Sorry, Dame... I can't do this ****. Call me when he gets fired "
During private meetings, Stotts likely pointed out all the flaws in Griffin's system. Instead of taking advice from a coach with 30 years of experience, Griffin probably walked out of those meetings wanting nothing to do with him. He probably thought to himself I've been under Nurse's shadow for far too long, so the last thing I need is for this guy to babysit me.
Also, I'm sure Horst purposely hired someone with Stotts experience as an assistant coach to circumvent Giannis's choice of wanting to hire Griffin. Unfortunately, that plan didn't work since Griffin likely felt insecure and drove Stotts out.
