NBA coach firings 2015-16 (McHale, Hollins, Blatt, Hornacek)

[Uncle Mxy]

Kevin McHale fired

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14...h-kevin-mchale

Before they fix it, here's an amusing goof:

McHale, in his fifth season with the team, was in the first year of a three-year extension worth more than $12 million that he signed last December. He was coming off an 82-56 season

Seems odd. Thought he and Morey were boys.

[Glenn]

Interesting to go from getting a three year extension less than a year ago, to making the finals in the West, to fired 11 games later.

Same.

[Fool]

Terry Stotts? Portland isn't supposed to be any good this year. Has Dame made some kind of statement against the guy or something?

[Glenn]

He just seems like he's going to be the scapegoat for scaring away Aldridge. He's also in the last guaranteed year of his deal.

He also seems like the kind of coach you just fire and replace and nobody really notices.

I don't know, I could be full of shit. Post yours.

[Fool]

They are saying Aldridge hated Portland, the city, and was jealous any time anyone got more props than him (Lillard, Roy, Oden).

6. Casey

[Glenn]

Clifford's really well-regarded, surprised by that one, too.

Have heard for a while that there are "teams waiting to scoop him up" if things get sideways with MJ.

Seems like that alone might tempt MJ to hold on to him for a good while.

Report: Kings owner plans to make big offer to John Calipari dlvr.it/CnvnyL

The belief still is it’s a matter of when, not if, Karl will be removed as the head coach.

If that should happen during this season, the short-term answers are, according to owner Vivek Ranadivé – or sources say – he would like to move Nancy Lieberman into the head-coaching position, making a big splash by having the first female head coach in NBA history. Vlade Divac, the GM [lol] is more inclined to fill with Corliss Williamson for the remainder of the season.

But Ranadivé’s biggest dream is to have Kentucky coach John Calipari come out and coach this roster full of Kentucky players.

The belief is that Ranadive will take another run after Calipari plans to make an offer that Calipari simply cannot refuse.
