sex0nthebeach Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Nets are stupid as fuck for firing Scott. He led them to the Finals for 2 consecutive seasons and now they fire him because their record isn't too good. Who the fuck in the East has a good record besides the pacers? Nobody! the Atlantic conference looks like a fucking joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also known to be extremely lazy. There was a report awhile back that said he would be given game tapes and he wouldn't even watch any of them.Nets made a good decision.

They certainly didn't seem to be headed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the Nets all time winningest coach. Fine. But, I think the Nets should be winning alot more with the talent that they have. Besides, while they did go to the Finals in back to back years; did they really show that they could actually WIN the championship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot base all actions and decisions soley on past accomplishments and success.The bottom line is that they are not playing at the same level as the last two years. Therefore, the "proven formula" is no longer proven and no longer working. The team is in turmoil and just not playing at the level that they are capable of. And it's the head coach's job to prepare them and motivate them. This senario reminds me alot of Fassel and the Giants. He went to the playoffs and the Super Bowl and his tenure with the Giants is even considered to be successful. Do you think they should've have kept Fassel?

I never like fassell- #1, number 2 okay scotts gone- who they got?? you like eddie jordan- not big time imo- who else in in the running?? in business- you dont dump something b/4 you have the replacemnt- in place- its known as poor business( interim coaches dont cut it with big time teams- or businesses)- i think its weak mangement decison not to do it- but what to do next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your logic says don't "dump something before you have the replacement". They do have a replacement. Maybe not the one that they'll eventually end up with, but, nonetheless, a replacement. Scott was the root of the problem. He what's caused this mess. Suppose you are an executive at an investment bank and you've just committed a very serious infraction that is just cause for termination. Believe me, your Chief executive would not wait to hire a replacement. They will simply promote someone within the organization and proceed. That's how business has been conducted in sports, Corporate America, and politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they need is someone who can mesh that talent and show them how to play as a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
