Coach Larry K & Thoughts

I actually think he'd be more beneficial as a player than coach right now. His coaching, rotations, rationale, etc are much to be desired. At least as a player he would maybe be a defensive minded body for the team. Something to ponder.

What a disappointment this season has become. I long for the days of Blue Edwards, Lee Mayberry, and Kenny Norman. At least I expected to be bad then.

I have no solutions. I hope there is some kind of house cleaning in the offseason. Our ping pong balls should increase by the time the end of the season rolls around. But I think we're more than 1 draft pick away from improving anything. We need a culture change bad.

Hell, I long for the days of Scotty Williams.

It could be argued that the Bucks organization has never recovered from the trade that sent Scott Williams out and ultimately brought Anthony Mason in. We imploded the following season and outside of a few mediocre years, haven't ever been relevant since.

Interesting thought, and seemingly very true.

That's true, but it isn't like we had much success before that trade either.
We had that one good year in 2000-2001.

I agree, the scott williams trade was the domino effect of the destruction of the Franchise...

That 00-01 team had Willams and EJ to fill roles and keep egos in check. Since their departure this team hasn't had anyone step in to fill those roles.

Anyways, getting back to Larry K, I'm just completely at a loss right now. Lame duck GM, lame duck coach. Coach K is trying to save face and win games, knowing he has no future here. If we had a coach whose future was secure he'd be able to do the right thing and play Yi more than the 13 minutes he got tonight or let Sessions actually play at least 1 **** minute.

Larry Harris was around through all the ups and downs I do not understand why he hasn't gotten it yet..there is not 1 team in the nba thats winning that doesnt have a proven veteran...NO is young but they have Wells and Mike James also Peja is a veteran now.

True. The couple years before were just average, which usually ended up bowing out to Indiana in the first round. To be honest the team in 1999-2000 probably would be considered an underachiever.
