I've personally been very critical of Doc this season. I think he's a good coach who has done a poor job.
Anyway this thread got me thinking: what about other head coaches around the league who are heading underachieving teams?
Sixers - Even without Bynum, the Sixers have a lot of young, athletic, and talented players on their roster. But somehow they have a worse record than we do. At 14-17, I'd say they're underperforming. Should Doug Collins be fired?
Mavericks - Sure, the Mavs don't have any All-Stars outside of Dirk, who has only recently returned from injury. The Mavs roster has a lot of solid veterans, but they're having many of the same problems the C's have - poor defense, poor rebounding, and overall (seeming) lack of effort and grit. The Mavs are 12-18. Should Rick Carlisle be fired?
Nuggets - Typical George Karl team that doesn't play defense, but I see their roster and I think they should be better than 2 games over .500. Maybe the Nuggets don't qualify as an underachieving team, but they certainly could be better given the quality and depth of their roster. They have been very inconsistent over the season. Should Karl be fired?
I think all three of the coaches listed above are very good coaches, especially Collins and Carlisle. They deserve to be head coaches on their respective teams. And so does Doc.
