Why Rambis will be our coach in 2012.

Are they going through transition years with new coaches? Rambis has actually gotten this team worse with a supposedly better roster… How is it better to keep him? Because he’s been here for two years and we don’t want to be labeled “transition” team? I’d rather be labeled that with a site to the future than keep him and be looked at as the worst team in the nba with no chance of getting better.

I think Glen is sensitive to the fact that he gave McHale too long of a leash last time, and will be quicker to make a change IF he can make it work financially (that’s a big if, obviously).

Typically, that’s the way bad owners work — they ping-pong back and forth. Replace a “player’s coach” with a “hard-nosed disciplinarian”. Give someone a long leash, then jerk the next guy around.

Rambis will start as coach next year, but the hook will be fast if the team doesn’t play better right away. I see him getting 20 to maybe 30 games to show significant improvement.

Frankly I don’t see Rambis turning this thing around in time to save his job. I’ve been really disappointed with the lack of meaningful improvement over the season.

in that a lot of fans do not take into account the many injuries that occured, many at times when the Wolves seemed to be startng to play well. Another thing I fully agree with is that Webster, in the pre-season and at the start of the year did very well, but then his back went out and he did not return to form until the last couple of weeks. I still think Webster is an excellent acquisition. I also think Randolph is very good acquisition.

I also think the Wolves have a good young core to build upon, and that they need a veteran or two that knows how to win. I do not know if any would be untouchable, but the players that I would try to keep and build upon are Love, Tolliver, Webster, Randolph, and Darko (only because his contract is a good one and if we could get a better center he would be a very good back up). If we could get Irving in the draft, I would trade Rubio and if not, he also would be one I would try to keep.

As for the Coach, If we keep Rambis then we need to add a defensive assistant coach. If Rambis is let go then Sloan would be a very good choice, as would casey but no college coach (and not Sampson).

That’s what Taylor is probably thinking. And it’s wrong, because while losses may be excusable, there’s nothing to suggest development. Rambis had the reputation as a defensive coach. At some point, a coach is responsible for the freelancing. Tolliver’s statement about them doing the same thing over and over sounds like more of an indictment of Rambis than a defense.

One reason he might can Rambis is just to do something, anything, to give potential ticket buyers . Maybe they figure the draft pick will do that. Or that the season won’t start on time, when it does new payroll rules will help them, and maybe in season-opening chaos some free agent will forget team history and geography and sign here.

Reading the analysis after his departure, I didn’t get the impression he’s on top of his game, or of the game. And the Jazz weren’t known for stalwart defense.

Sloan has physically looked at the end of his rope since back before Stockton and Malone got them to the Finals. Imagine him trying to get through to B-Easy. Imagine him in a room with Kahn. He’s great, a legend, but geez.

It’s like saying you’ll probably die of heart disease, cancer, or an infection.

Have a nice day : )
