Hopefully the fingerpainting is over. I don't feel bad for McHale at all regarding being fired. By all accounts seems like a great man, but he's not a good coach. The end.
One bold move doesn't make up for seasons of improper coaching and poor preparation unless said bold move got us a championship.
we were losing by double digits when Harden was taken out. The white band bros got hot. Any coach would leave hot hands in there in that situation.
I never thought Mchale's offense was ISO only. There were times when the ball would move and I would wonder where the hell all this ball movement came from. I think Mchale would let Harden go off script way too much. I don't think Mchale is as incompetent as we think he is. Harden, with all his talent, doesn't know how to follow direction and screws up everything.
McHale earned the highest winning percentage in franchise history despite inheriting a decidedly mediocre roster that was later completely scrapped for a rebuild midway through his tenure. I don't know why credit where credit is due is so hard for some people.
