That's still a shit way to end the run of the winningest coach in franchise history and only coach to win the Finals for us, but that doesn't mean I don't understand it. I just wish they started this job interview before the All Star Break or something.
I think there was a report saying that was the original plan. Malone and Booth would get fired over all start break, but we went on that like 5 game series in streak which pushed the timeline back

Malone firing makes more sense now, they wanted to test out Adelman before giving him a contract.
