take into consideration that he probably had ZERO input on this roster, and i suspect no one has still asked him what kind of players he likes etc, i think he's done a fine job

I would prefer him to some of the celebrity names thrown around like JVG and Mark Jackson who i think would be dreadful for multiple reasons beginning with they either were never good coaches or in JVG's case it was in a different day and age with stacked teams

i just want someone boring who gets results. No cheerleader-types or sideshows

I was looking for the Mike Miller appreciation thread to post this - through 30 games, he is 12 & 18. That puts on a 82 game season for 33 wins.

I will be pissed if he is not back next year.

Hard for a fan to quantify how to measure both him and the rest of the staff. Canales the others have some good cred. My hope is they are seen by Rose as quality guys and kept if at all possible. Bring in a guy like Calipari I would not expect all to stay, but I don't find anything egregious about our staff that warrants firing.

What is with the Miller hate? He was already a head coach at the d 1 level. He is a coaching lifer, spent time with Spurs organization, won coy in the g league, was recruited to coach USA Basketball with JVG when Jeff saw how prepared his team was when he watched g league games to scout for players. The moment hasn't been too big for him. Suggesting that he will go back to being a d 1 assistant sounds like Miller hate.
Hope he is back next year and I liked what Cal did with your nets. Thought he had a good thing going but the lockout that year, trading his guys (i.e. Cassell) and bringing in Marbs ended that.

This ends the calpirai per begley.
John Calipari says he'd help Leon Rose but 'it just wouldn't be to coach' the Knicks
Calipari spoke at his press conference about potentially being linked to the Knicks job
By Colin Martin | 12:51PM
On Friday at his press conference, University of Kentucky head basketball coach John Calipari spoke about potentially being linked to the Knicks head coaching job under Leon Rose.

"Let me say this: first of all, I haven't talked to Leon, so I don't know if it's done, if he's doing it," Calipari said. "I have no idea. But let me tell you about him: I've known him for 25 years -- dear friend. In a rough-and-tumble business -- really, that business he was in was a sport, too, like body-to-body contact, it is -- and I've never heard anyone in 25 years say anything bad about Leon Rose. He's a gatherer, he's a culture-builder. I'd help him in any way I could, being a resource. You want to call and ask me about college players, my own players, I'm here. It just wouldn't be to coach."

The Knicks have yet to make the hiring official, but Rose is expected to be the team's next president, replacing recently fired Steve Mills. It's known that William 'World Wide Wes' Wesley is under consideration to join the organization along with Rose, and both have ties to Calipari.
Calipari has been Kentucky's head coach since 2009, and has not coached in the NBA since he was an assistant with the Philadelphia 76ers during the 1999-2000 season. He did coach the New Jersey Nets for two-plus seasons, though he was fired just 20 games into the 1999 season with a 3-17 record.

Calipari has gone 767-216 at the collegiate level, with stops at UMass, Memphis, and Kentucky. He has been named the Naismith College Coach of the Year three times (1996, 2008, 2015), made the Final Four six times, and won the 2012 National Championship with Kentucky.

Nice, that is measurable progress.

BTW anyone whining for tanking is a pinhead. Ask the teams who drafted ahead of us last year with twice as good records.

not me. it's not like he got to install his stuff in training camp... i think all things considered he's done quite well. the roster is a dumpster fire. look where the team is at now versus where wet fart fizzle had them

I don't think this roster is a dumpster fire. I like the team. We certainly lack talent, and an impact franchise star - but these guys are gritty and don't give up.

We lack outside shooting for sure. And we have no clear cut starting PG.

But my god how wrong were many of us about Fizdale.

I liked him, I thought he talked a smart game. But any professional Coach that uttered a statement in support of him after the Knicks fired him should be forced to admit they were wrong, or Miller is the second coming of Greg Popovich.

Fizdale was so out of his league. And I should man up and admit I was wrong about Fizdale.

when your 4 pf shoot better than your pgs it's a dumpster fire
