On April 12, Beijing time, just one day after the end of the NBA regular season, 2 coaches have already announced the end of class! Lakers coach Vogel and Kings interim coach Gentry were sacked and no longer serve as managers for their respective teams. I have to sigh that the NBA head coach is indeed a high-risk industry, once the team's record is in trouble, the first to be cut will be the head coach.
The Lakers fired Vogel and arguably found a scapegoat. The root cause of why the Lakers have such a big problem this season is the operational error of the management. The introduction of Wei Shao, the introduction of a group of veterans, the lack of a pitcher for James, etc., the management is the last person to make the decision. But the owner, Jenny Bass, trusted management so much that Vogel had to leave class.
The Kings missed the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons, continuing to set new NBA records. At the end of the season, coach Walton had left the class, and now interim coach Gentry has also announced his departure. For 16 consecutive years, Kings coach players have come and gone, and what hasn't changed is the nature of their bad team. Obviously, it has little to do with the coaching players, and there is something wrong with the culture of the team.
For the foreseeable future, more NBA coaches will be out of class! So who will be next? Judging by this season's performance, Blazers coach Billups is likely to be the leader in the list. This season, the Blazers, under his leadership, have suspended their record of advancing to the playoffs for 8 consecutive years. Although It is beneficial for Rad to be absent from CJ to be traded, the performance of Billups' coaching is really unsatisfactory.
Of course, the bigger wave of coaches will probably be in the playoffs. Philadelphia City manager Rivers, once unable to lead Philadelphia to at least the Eastern Conference Finals, or once again suffer a humiliating reversal, the championship coach will be a high probability event. The same is true of Nets coach Nash, who will have no suspense when he leaves the class if he is declared out in the first round. All in all, these 3 people will become a big hit after class.
