Premium Member Diesel Posted December 12, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Supposedly he quit for personal reasons.... Many coaches say that coaching drains them physically, emotionally, and otherwise.. Maybe that's where he is right now. Why leave with Shaq coming back. I say we ride it out til the offseason and if needed, we get a new coach... (TERRY PORTER)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I highly doubt he quit for personal reasons. No one will say it, but he quit because Pat Riley was itching to get back to the bench. I believe this is a case of Pat Riley stabbing him in the back.

Admin capstone21 Posted December 12, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I have a feeling he was forced to quit and this was a way for everyone to save face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted December 12, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Maybe so.. But Riley can't turn the ship... Nor do I think Van Gundy is that much of an upgrade over Woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Vol4ever Posted December 12, 2005 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 most coaches don't just quit. This team has talent and is standing around looking at Wade. Walker is chunking 3's and not hitting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packfill Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Agreed. What is with the Van Gundy family - are they all quitters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really are looking for a coach, now or in the future, he is now my 1st choice. And yes, Riley is a hollywood backstabber....I don't care what disclamer he is using. GM's don't step down to coach on a long term basis unless that is excatly what he wants to do.... try and grab another ring to massage the ego.

Shaq's too far over the hill to lead a team to a title and they have some questionable pieces now... No way do they get past Detroit or SA.
