So of the ones available, who would do a better job?
Lionel "The Train" Hollins Western Conference Finals Baby !
WCF's?
I remember we had a former COTY in MDA who had the same cred.
Larry Brown came off two straight trips the the FINALS!
What is it about Hollins that he can replicate here?
The problem as we've discussed over and over is not that we haven't had good coaches, but that we have never had THE coach and THE star player with support and THE GM with a plan and THE Owner that didn't get in the way, that all came together at the same time and are in sync. MDA wasn't supported from day 1 with a plan that was designed to guarantee a good fit. LB was an entire other issue, but still he and the front office weren't in sync. With Woody he was in perfect sync with his GM and they put together the team they both wanted. IMO Woody simply isn't that good. Woody left wins on the table with his awful coaching in the playoffs. I dare someone to refute the litany of mistakes Woody made.
Any good team is gonna win a good amount of games almost no matter who the coach is so regular season only proves so much about a coach. This is why they say a great coach can add 5-10 wins to a good team. Problem is that great coaches are hired not just for the regular season but for the Playoffs where they have the most influence. Woody has a bad track record in the playoffs. Case closed.
