Saw this coming

That game one loss is inexcusable for a defensive coach
Could never develop an offense that can use KAT and Brunson effectively

I wonder who they will hire. Maybe Malone?

Sometimes leaders have to make decisions that seem completely illogical to the outside eye, but pay off in the long term. This was one of those decisions...
