Rumor that Quin could replace Popovich when he retires

We’ll see, she will already be the highest payed coach in WNBA history when she starts the job. And Davis who owns the Aces (also owns the Raiders) has deep pockets. So I can see her sicking there if she likes it

She'll still be making about half of what the lowest paid NBA coach makes. The difference in lifestyle between $1m and $2m is really not that great, tho, so maybe she'll take the security, especially if she would have to move to a city like NYC or LA or SF. Vegas is cheaper.
 
The question really will be… Does Ainge swipe Stevens or will Ryan let his buddy from high school run the team… in defense of his buddy he did have Bane over Udoka on his draft board and has won his fantasy league 2 out of the last 3 years.

I watched that a bunch of times on replay. House hit Vassel on the arm. It wouldn’t have gotten overturned.

It’s only one example among many. The fact that we’re not a good clutch team is a reflection of our coach imo. How many overturnable challenges has Snyder missed over the years? How many winnable adjustments has he failed to make? How many last second game winners has Mitchell made, how many did Hayward make while with the Jazz? All a reflection of the coach I believe.

Oh I know… that’s why if I got mega rich I’d have a no new friends rule. So we get the doofus from Jr. Jazz not the smart nerdy guy he’s met in his tech circles.

We might actually hire an algorithm to coach and use a hologram image of Jerry Sloan. No one will be able to give that a thumbs down.

Algorithm... Check!

Working on the hologram.
 
Quin is extremely overrated. Hell, he might be one of the more overrated coaches in NBA history. You see it in this thread. All we hear is how he's one of the League's better coaches but is that true? What's he accomplished? He can't even get out of the second-round. He's blown a 3-1 and 2-0 playoff lead in back-to-back seasons. Is he one of the worst? No - but one of the better coaches? That's a really loaded comment for a coach who's had multiple chances to prove his worth in the postseason, where it counts the most, and has failed.

Quin ranks 15th overall in playoff win percentage (current coaches)

That's not the hallmarks of one of the league's best coaches.
 
I'm giving Snyder one more playoff run before deciding I want him gone. This year is kind of his last chance as far as I'm concerned. This is his 8th year, and assuming we make the playoffs this year he will have made the playoffs in 6 of those years.

- I would say he met/exceeded expectations in 2 or 3 of the playoff runs and did worse than expectations in 2 or 3 of the playoff runs, depending on your expectations.
- In the 5 playoff runs we've had we've never made it past the 2nd round and we've only won 3 games in the combined 3 second round series that we've played.
- Technically we've only lost one playoff series as the higher seed and that was last year to the Clippers. We've won 2 playoff series as the lower seed.

I've lost a lot of faith in him after being outcoached by Mike Malone and Ty Lue, but he's done enough good in his tenure here, I'm giving him one more chance.

Quin has already gone full metal jacket on DL and he might be about out of ammo and he knows it.

Pure speculation but the more I see the more I think Quin and DL were fine. Smith and DL were not. Smith wants to be the ultimate basketball expert and DL was used to working with the Millers.
