Dude my point was to the poster that thinks the COY belonged to Colangelo, that Sam Mitchell was a horrible coach that was lucky to have a job and who now laughs at Mitchells job prospects as if there is nothing for the man to be proud of in Toronto. This raptor opinion is so like 2006, and if what has transpired has not somehow made the poster take a different accounting of the situation than I think I am within my right to consider him a little dense.
Sam played in the league, he knew his plays, he knew what worked and what did not. I will take his experience over some guy who's one criteria of judging coaches is how they dress. Too even act like getting COY or making the play-offs with 7 new players, most of them significant minute players is meaningless is beyond me.
I am fairly sure "Doc Rivers on Tactics" is not going to sell many copies, but everyone knows he is a great coach. I still think that the bullshit that Sam had to put up with, in terms of the fans misconceptions and the media's inability to try to understand him only added stress to our franchise. Sam may not have started out well, but he got it and kept getting better as coach, he also did better than what most expected with the roster he had.
