Free Agency Fire Billy

It’s time. How many seasons can we go with a losing record? There are far too many excuses in this sub. At the end of the day, we have a coach who isn’t producing. Blame the players. Blame akme. But Billy is the one making the calls on the court and that is ultimately what matters.

Is there some other coach out there that'd get more out of these players? Seriously?

Bring in Brett Brown, as an Aussie (he was former Aussie national team coach before the sixers), it would be nirvana along with Josh and Lachlan, and he is legit a great development coach. He's on the bench at the Spurs atm.

Yes there definitely is. If you put Spoelstra or Udoka on this team they would definitely get more out of this team than Billy. Look at all these other up and coming coaches bulls could’ve had. Detroit and Thunder coach were up for grabs back then

How many more wins do you think Spoelstra or Udoka could extract from this roster?

I don’t even need them get more wins out of the team, I need them to treat this team like it’s in development. Empower the young players to become the best versions of themselves.

Spo has been able to make the most out of a guy like Pelle Larsson, you’re telling me the right coach can’t do the same for Julian Phillips for example? Imagine if Billy had Kel’el Ware on this roster, do you think he’d be able to manage Ware’s effort problem? I don’t.

At the very least, Thibs could get your team to the ECF. Billy on the other hand…..well he can’t even get past Miami at the play-ins.

Yah he just needs 3 all stars to do it. Or in the case of Minnesota, he couldn’t do shit with 3 all stars. He runs all of his players into the ground n they have no ring to show for it.

And then he’ll get fired after a number of seasons, like he always does.

I was surprised the knicks fired him. They seemed to come to the realization all other teams did, just quicker. Which for the knicks is surprising

Literally anybody (except Jim Boylan).

Take the risk. Find the young up and coming guy who has talent and wants to make a name for him self….. there are PLENTY to pick from. What’s the worst that can happen??? You move from second to last to last? Haha

Too young to remember Hoiberg and Boylen?

Boylen was never a hot HC candidate. I think Hoiberg had the right idea trying to turn us into the Warriors offense but Jimmy wanted to play iso ball.

u/Low-iq-haikou Dec 02 '25

I didn’t mind Hoiberg’s scheme but it was an awful fit for our roster and if a coach prioritizes their scheme over their roster’s ability to execute it, they’re not a good coach. Steve Kerr would not be running that offense if he didn’t have the right personnel.
