BREAKING NEWS: Rick Adelman not to Return

by bone31crusher on Apr 18, 2011 4:30 PM CDT

According to Feigen, Adelman will not return to the team as HC, via twitter.

Well, it looks like the relationship between Rick and Les wasn't good after all.

Even though I wanted Adelman to go, I'm sad to see him leave. Easily a hall of famer, and one of the best coaches of all time.

Looks like Les and Morey will have quite a while to look for a new HC. The candidates range from Mike Brown(hell no) to Lawrence Frank.

I can see JVG coming back, but he would not fit our rebuilding program.

Damn...

I haven’t been opposed to this move, but I just hope we don’t end up with someone awful…

As of now, my choices for HC would be

SVG>Lawrence Frank>Elston Turner

Assuming SVG is available.

Well hell...I'm not sure what to feel about this.

I guess I’m supposed to feel that this is good, that we are now gonna be playing the young’uns. Can’t help but feel that this is a step backwards however.

I want to wish Rick the best and hope he can get another chance

with a readily built contender. I’m afraid if we completely change to another style of play, the changes should not stop with Adelman. Perimiter shooting, transition offense, finesse passing is what this team does best, and compromising all of this to just hopefully become a better defensive team will set the franchise back more than Steve Francis. No Mike Brown, no Dwayne Casey, no Larry Brown. If they do go the route of an assisstant, they need to be damn sure that he’s not just an x’s and o’s guy, and can manage 12 grown men’s egos. I think Stan would be a hell of a hire myself.
