Fire Coach K, we need a veteran leader

Umm, there was one player fighting Stotts from day one, however.

Larry K. might actually be an ok coach.......we don't know.....the signs aren't good.....but I can't hammer too hard now with the new information about Kohl micro-managing.

Let me ask any of you guys how you'd coach a bunch of millionaire prima donnas if the owner told you you couldn't run the offense (triangle) you wanted?

What if the players voted for certain team captains but the owner stepped in and declared the results void and name his own captains?

What if you decided to send a message and you benched a player or refused to start another player but were later told you had to play said player, after said player had a personal conversation with the owner to discuss the playing time issue?

I guess the answer is to hire a guy so powerful (Larry Brown) that he only takes the job if he's given total power and none for Kohl. But that isn't happening......

I'm not happy with Larry K. at all.....but he's been neutered by Kohl just like Harris has by Ron Walter and Kohl. It has apparently created an untenable coaching environment.

It would seem Stotts had similar problems, but perhaps worse since he also had Larry K. working to undermine him as well. But Stotts didn't have the player situation so bad because he let Mo and Redd have their way so those guys didn't fight him.

That was pretty much my position, too for a while. And he's definitely in a bad situation. But if there's any truth to stuff like the war cards, or getting right back on guys for enjoying a short break when he had 5 days to think and a great opportunity to find a better way to set a new tone... even with all the tampering, it's hard to see someone else suggesting that stuff to him. Like so much else, it's very tough to form absolute opinions with what we get here, but I'm not seeing LK as a dynamic part of the solution. His weak-ass ineffective respect-demanding personality in the wake of his hiring comments could give enough reason for that, even without confirming the other stuff.

Who? I'm just going to assume Bogut. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I just took that to mean that Kohl and his cronies weren't happey with Brown, not that Brown was causing locker room problems.

Your interpretation is how it was meant.

Well then you might as well beat me over the head with a frying pan. Who knows? Maybe it will make me smarter.
