In extremely predictable fashion, (almost) all of the Pels bloggers and media types are falling all over themselves to fawn over Spoon getting the job.

They are so fricking predictable

I’m a Louisiana Tech alumni & fanatic & loved Weatherspoon as a player but she was a dumpster fire as a head coach for the Lady Techsters. I sure hope Griffin doesn’t give in to all the woke media admiration he would get & hire her because if she doesn’t work out then good luck firing her.



Can you give any insight as to why it failed so badly there for her? Was it recruiting or something else? Great NBA coaches don't necessarily make great college coaches and vice versa. I just don't know anything about her time at La Tech.

How do yall not understand that Chad is lying? That tweet doesn't exist he made it up.

Chad is a troll and does that all of the time on Saints talk.


if someone really believes that the video coordinator is under consideration of the pelicans' head coach job, then their iq isn't worthy of being worried about.


PS, please tell me last time i did such thing.

1. He needed to go. It was a mistake from the start, credit for ripping off the bandaid, but not too much credit because you hired the guy in the first place.
2. Zion and BI have to be involved in this search. They are not involved in the final decision but they are too important for the future to not let them be involved in shaping it.
3. Only way it's Kidd is if it's a Dame package deal. His name was leaked for the sole purpose of catching Dame's eye. I don't see it happening
4. Tspoon is interesting. Zion loves her. But does she need to be the HEAD coach? Short term media fawning is just that, short term. IF it doesn't work than it doesn't matter, Zion won't stay for her. Same thing for Vinson, but to a lesser degree.
With that said though, I see a way you can name Spoon HC and hire lead assistants with HC experience.
5. I think this move means we are going all in this offseason. This team will look completely different and Griff knows this is his final chance

i dont think naw or jax’s development had anything to do with svg. i give no credit to svg for any of this.


Exactly, that narrative is and was so effing dumb and its just something part of the fanbase started telling themselves while reaching for SVG silver linings. Guy was trash on and off the floor. frick him. The pels ownership should sue his arse for conduct detrimental to the org. I think they have legal grounds to avoid paying him the last 3 years of his contract.

They worked with Weatherspoon on a day 2 day basis. So she has a big say in their development.

Nobody is saying Dame is a coaching scout but if Kidd gets you Dame, you go get Kidd and you do it immediately.

Coaching barely matters in this league if you have enough talent. IE- Kerr, Walton, Nash.

Players league. Players love Kidd. We sign Kidd and Trade for Dame and we actually have a chance to win a ship. I see no other path that gives us that chance anytime soon, if ever.

What has she done to justify even being considered for an NBA head coaching job? Being a black female should not be the main qualification.
