He hasn't coached in sometime. The game has evolved and it remains to be seen if he can adapt with the way the game is being played now rather than sticking with what got him here....regular season wins no championships.
Seriously? Wow... I can no longer even find the words to argue with you. You win.

He deserves respect but history does not lie to us. His teams are high scoring and don't play a lot of defense. Don't go back to his teams in the Seattle days...those are long gone and has no merit on how the game is being played in this decade.
"Karl's teams don't play defense and those that did don't count."

Noel is a lot more skilled offensively than I gave him credit for. And I already liked him when I thought he had no offense!

I guess I missed the point when it became cool to make fun of a guy who lost both grandparents and his mom while he was in college and has been raising his young sister himself since he was 20 years old. Surely there's a line somewhere. But then I'm used to people treating me like I'm some kind of idiot just because I see something where they won't even take the time to look. So no harm, no foul.
Except I at no point even made mention of that at all.

If having experienced hardships at some point in his or her life excludes someone from criticism, every single person is infallible forever.

I also fail to see how raising your sister relates to exhibiting the basketball intelligence of a cucumber.

a bit more....don't you think?
Karl last coached May 2, 2013 and he took over here on Feb 11, 2015. Consdering that there are no NBA games between June and October anyway, that's a year and a half. Or more correctly, a season and a half. In any case, the game did not evolve and pass him by in that amount of time. I suppose you could say that it evolved at some earlier point and he failed to adjust, but then how do you explain the coach of the year award in 2013?

I sure wish I could hear what DMC and Rudy are saying to each other as Rudy recovers from the blow to his "lower solar plexus"...
 
Robinson is looking good. Sixers looking good. So I'll take former for what it's worth.

I really hope we can win with Rudy Gay ... I like him, but man... sometimes I wonder if he will be comfy as a good player on a bad team.
