I have yet to see him stick up for the players. Bad call on that foul against Knight. What does the Coach do, laughs about it and slaps knight on the butt. There was a few in the 1st quarter and everytime, all Horny did was laugh it off.
You wonder why our guys complain and bitch at the ref's after these calls, its because our coaching staff remains silent. I remember when some of our great coaches like Cotton and Dantoni and even to some extent Gentery, would go to war with the refs over missed call after missed call. The players in the past might complain a little bit, but they knew their coach was on their side and would have words with the ref on their behalf. Horny just kinda stands there, throws his hands up, and laughs it off.
Seeing Horny Smile seriously pisses me off.
I've seen him yell at the refs quite a bit. Once even got a tech for it. But I think, for the most part, it's that it's rarely going to help, and often times backfires and only makes things worse.
