Scott, thanks for a season of great coverage under goofy circumstances and I hope this venue was good for you as a business.
Surely the front don’t need the input from exit interviews to make this decision and get it done? I haven’t seen an NBA-level coach this bad with X’s and O’s since Isiah Thomas was coaching “The Quick.” Don’t even need to know details of the turmoil to understand that if New Nate is coming back the entire roster needs to be traded for unicorns or what ever square peg/ round hole metaphor you’d like to use because I don’t think there is a roster that could be constructed that could make those game plans successful if they have to go head-to-head with NBA-quality competition.
I guess the risk is just how bad is the PR to fire coaches in successive seasons? Probably still not as much risk as bringing them back to try again next season.
To me the choice is between a new coach and a massive roster overhaul. The team as currently constructed does not fit Bjorkgren's vision. We can blame injuries and COVID-19 all we want, but realistically how many games do you think a healthy roster would have won? I say 40, and going 40-32 would still mean at best the 6th seed. More likely 7th. Far from good.
