Being a head coach in the NBA sounds ****ing brutal lol. You can win the championship, coach of the year, and/or lead your team to a deep playoff run AND still get fired the year after even if your team slightly underperforms.

What the fck does an NBA coach have to do to keep his job? Even winning a championship won't save you. The turnover among coaches over the last couple of years has been absolutely ridiculous. There must have been 25 firings over the last 3 years.

The only safe ones are Erik Spoelstra, Greg Popovich, and Steve Kerr.

umm, monty williams was hot garbage. did you not see the atrocious rebounding, defense, and offense? like everything basketball releated...the team sucked at. and i know everyone not name booker or kd are garbage, but even bad players can be coached into playing decent defense or giving some effort on the boards or even basic offensive elements like moving the ball. instead monty taught them to spam ISO moves.

i agree with the sentiment for nick nurse and bud though.

KD becomes first NBA “star” to get two coaches fired in one season

How he and Kylie are better off in PHX and DallAss than what could have been in Brooklyn Nets is anyone’s guess. But it’s hilarious that their season went the way it did.

An organization can do all of that to rather successful coaches. Players can find out during the middle of a game or while on vacation that they have already been traded away via twitter, and all of that is fine and "just business". But people get upset when a player isn't "loyal" to the organization.

Is KD the first NBA “star” to get two coaches fired in one season??

Bum

The NBA is a joke.
