Willie is a good coach. He's 105-107 with Zion being out for damn near 2 full seasons of his 3, and Ingram missing significant time. And he's going to be over .500 overall when the season is over.


Amen. First season we’ve had a relatively healthy Ingram and Zion and we are looking like a 47-50 win team. Frankly, I think that is what our talent supports.

It’s not Willie Green’s fault Trey Murphy’s offense game was stolen by space aliens. If Trey comes out of this slump and Zion puts in consistent two way effort the rest of the season Willie’s rotation problems will largely solve themselves.

Willie may not be a championship coach, but his trendline with this team is nothing but positive.

I wouldn't classify him as a "good" coach. He's mediocre-to-decent in his young career, but his biggest struggle is adjustments and reacting to the situation at hand.

With all that said, I think the thing that holds this team back is more of a roster issue. We keep hearing how we have a deep roster, and we do in the sense that we have a lot of dudes who if we cut them today, would get picked up in a heartbeat by other NBA teams. But a lot of our pieces don't fit together.

Anyone thinking that a new coach, short of a hall of fame level one, is going to magically fix that is fooling themselves.
