Thats the big question now, Chicken or the egg. Did Earl get fired first, Bledsoe found out and made that post before it was leaked to the media, or was Bledsoe just frustrated and asking to be traded and Watson was fired 30 minutes lates because of the whole dumpster fire.

I just hope we get a legit coach, with an established record whether that be in the college or pro ranks. Let's not scrape the bottom of the barrel or try and get lucky with someone completely unproven

Will you guys be just as excited when we just promote Triano whose offense we've been running all season? If that happens not a damn thing will change except the dumb cheer leader speeches.

Hell no Triano should be nothing more than an interim coach if we can't get a good one to sign on this year. Hopefully he will at least hold players accountable and not coddle and let them play hero ball.

They might get a one game boost like AP did to the Cards and then return to being what they were shortly after.

Could Mark Jackson or George Karl be a good fit?

yeah that'll be tough in the short term, hopefully even within the same offense Triano does a better job of putting the ball in the right hands + having the right players out on the floor.

the next coach hired should have a different offensive philosophy. something centered around leveraging Booker on the move with passers/finishers

If we are promoting from within for the interim position, I hope they give a shot to Bjorkgren. All his teams improved tremendously after he gets there. We already know what Jay Triano is.

Karl is a known malcontent. And Jackson is just the original Earl Watson. He didn't know what he was doing either. Another "player's coach" too. We need a JVG type. A true teacher of the game.

JVG would be an awesome idea.

Good job guys we did it! So glad Watson is out of here. Everyone could see through his garbage lectures, his crappy offense. Should have been done last year.

Sarver loves to pay just pennies for coaches, no way he signs a good one with experience.

JVG is expensive.
