It's funny but I don't think Luke's coaching recovered it's panache after he indulged in his Nance obsession, after that this team went into a complete free fall.
Outside of maybe Fizdale, there's no reason to fire Luke right now. We have no obvious replacement. There's no benefit to continuing our coach shuffle. The problem with Fizdale is his style is more to slow the game down and control pace that way. We're the opposite. We need Ball pushing tempo all game long.
Jay Wright from Villanova is what this team needs right now. Someone who can teach young players and looks the part too. Fizdale is NOT going to work in LA. He is another version of Potato Head with glasses.
I think Fizdale is a fine coach. He was doing well in Memphis before being unjustly fired. Wright is okay. He's never really coached in the pros and he has a great setup in Villanova. I don't know that he's the right move.
Well appearance the most important thing in my book so needed to see how he stacks up against Luke. Meh ... OK. images Jay Wright Villanova
I'm on the edge with Luke but I'm not ready to fire him yet. What he needs is to change up his assistants. We have too many assistants that are labeled "player development" coach. Get a defensive coordinator in there or something.
