I heard on Mike and Mike this morning that Larry Bird wasn't really that high on Vogel, but his winning covered that so he rode with it.
 
hit up stan van gundy, dude would be perfect for this team. still think vogel is doing a damn good job, so no need to worry, unless they totally flame out in the playoffs.

Nah he's coaching the Lakers after Pringles gets the boot.
 
NBA/sports in general is getting pretty damn ridiculous about firing coaches prematurely. Who the **** was paying attention to the Pacers before Vogel? There was more people at Indiana HS Basketball games than Pacer games. He's built the best defense in the L and the second best team in the east with a roster without a true PG or any semblance of shooting.

This is even more base than Warriors media grumbling about Jackson's job. Larry Legend too old for that coaching grind, he just needs to focus on bringing in some offensive talent, Vogel is working with what he has.

Players are more valuable than coaches.
A lot of these coaches be going on power trips and rubbing the wrong player the wrong way.

These coaches be straight wildin. disrespectful and unprofessional.

I remember watching an espn interview with terry crews and he said one of his nfl coaches told him he was only going to call him tyrone and he didn't care that his name was terry
 
COTY is a bit of a meaningless award anyway, so why not give it to Hornacek.
I had them pegged to come in second to last record wise in the league. He deserves this easily, and Gerald Green deserves MIP or 6th man.

how many gms has gerald started? i think he gets MIP and jamal crawford gets 6th man. not sure how many gms jamal has missed. taj is deserving as well. legoran has a case for MIP as well.

Horny absolutely deserves the award this year. NO ONE, saw this team coming. In a loaded West no less.

I hear you guys. Not saying he's a bad coach. IMO, I'm not sure how correct it is to treat this award like a mulligan on a team you were wrong about. I know you'd probably have the same usual suspects winning it every year but I see no problem with that. I'd give to Pop again this year. I can't respect the award 100% when he has two in eighteen seasons. Or when Phil has the same amount as Sam Mitchell.
 
I Don't Know Which Award, But Joakim Noah Deserves One! Heck, Give Him Coach Of The Year Or Rookie Of The Year, IDC!!!!

they were picked by many to finish in the bottom 3 in the west, and fighting for an 8 seed on the backs of goran dragic, gerald green, the morris twins, pj tucker, and channing frye (didn't mention bledsoe because hes been hurt)

I think Pop deserves COTY.

you could make an argument for pop every year. i think they just give it to who did a better job than was expected to do

QFT, it's always the award given to the coach where people were just wrong about the talent on the team. Not to say Hornacek hasn't done an excellent job, but people clearly underestimated Bledsoe and Dragic as players.

Just give it to the best coach, should at least be an actually great team. There's no rule it has to go to a fringe squad that is "overachieving" relative to sportswriters' expectations.

Isn't Saying People Underestimated Bledsoe And Dragic As Player, But Saying The Squad Is "Overachieving" Contridicting Yourself? If The Players Are Truly Good There Success Is Expected Not Overachieving

not that outlandish imo, he just won't win it though.

DJ went from averaging 5/2 last year to 15 and 5 this year. 35% shooting to 42%. he's greatly improved, just doesn't have the case or impact that gerald green, lance stephenson, goran dragic etc have had.

True, But Before The Suns, Gerald Green Was Legit OUT The League. Then He Dropped 41 On Durant & OKC..... That Sealed It
