I think the dysfunctional grizz management vindicates Hollins' firing.

I think the Jazz should seriously consider hiring him.

I don't think he ever needed vindication. He was fired after a 50 win season because the management thought they should have gone farther. It's a little similar to Mark Jackson, although there weren't problems with assistant coaches and others in the organization, IIRC.

wasn't there a little oldschool vs newschool about this too? there was some implication that, with the arrival of hollinger, that memphis were looking to become more analytics-oriented and LH wasn't so into that ****. maybe i'm remembering it wrong.

Basically what happened is John Hollinger traded Rudy Gay mainly due to analytics and Hollins didn't like it, and made it known.

What broke the camels back was when Hollinger showed up to practices, pulled players out of practice and held his own practice. Hollins blew up, and he was fired over it.

I still think Hollins ends up our coach.

I dont think there's any parallel there.

50+ wins. Took his team to the playoffs. They underachieved in the post-season. Had a falling out with GM and/or ownership over management style.
No parallels?

Were there issues between Hollins and Mgmt? I had no idea. I stand corrected if so.

I'd be pissed too if I was Hollins and that was happening to my team. Hollinger absolutely overstepped on that one and the management screwed the pooch by forcing Hollins out. But it's clear the situation is toxic in Memphis right now - as even David Joerger appears to be looking for an out.

I hope you're right about Hollins, but I'm not as convinced. I'd love him as coach.

Frankly, I think the game tries to out-think itself with this move toward analytics.
