Did they consider how the players will react to this?
Rift between coach/management and coach/players which is worse?

Get rid of a guy that takes you to the WCF for a guy that's never coached an NBA game in his life.
Hollins was awful at the latter part. So the Grizzlies got rid of him. It's really not that big of a deal.
Coincidentally, this is also why the Nuggets got rid of George Karl. And why I thought Clippers needed to fire VDN.

Completely disagree. If we are talking about the regular season then yes but playoff basketball requires adjustments and then adjustments to how the opposite coach adjust to you. There's more to a gameplan than who you want to get the ball too. You have to worry about
• how your going to guard ball screens (jam, hedge, trap, switch) and these rules on the NBA level gets specific as having different gameplan for different players being in the ball screens
• how your going to guard guys in the post (halfway, full front, behind, double team)
• when you double team the post (on the catch, on the face up or dribble)
• and of course how your going to attack the opposing defense. On ball screens are you going to roll them or pop them. If the defense shows on screens when do you slip and how do you space shooters to take advantage of the helping defense.
I could talk all night about this stuff just don't have the time.

I never said coaches don't do anything. I said coaches are overrated because they all know the same shite. Very, very few are innovative. Very, very few actually get more production out of their players than other coaches.
Does this mean a coach has never cost his team a series by (not) making an adjustment? No. Does this mean the common fan could successfully be an NBA head coach? Hell no.
