He did an extraordinary job cleaning up Isiah's mess, just to step down when the team finally has some success? I wouldn't have done the Carmelo deal myself, but it made the fans happy to have 2 star players.
Why.... yes he is! In fact they were college teammates, they regularly vacation together and have said they are "close". So... you KNOW where this is headed...

He should be gone after next season. He is a horrible coach. Give that team Rick Adelman and they would win 50-55 games.
