remember when the idea of that was unacceptable 
That's what kills me, both Fisher and JH were fired after 31 and 32 win seasons.
Hell, woodson was fired after 37 wins, and he had a injury riddle roster for 3 quarters of that season.
IMO you should be able to get 30 wins off of hard work and effort alone, another 7 to 10 off of good coaching (close games)..
Woodson was not fired, he was not rehired when Phil bought his triangle to town. By most accounts not a fan, including myself was dissatisfied with the job he did. New regime.
Fish was dysfunctional. Phil's first choice Kerr was a good one. Walton was not coming and he hired Fish who was not prepared to be head coach for many reasons.
JH was let go because because MIlls and Perry were wanted their guy. JH let go might have been a concession for KP. Bud might have been the better choice but we don't know all the details. He might have made demands that were not acceptable at that moment to the people in the room at that time.
There is a reason why Mitch was taken in the second round. He needed lots of time.
