Butler probably kept him from getting fired last season.  They don't sniff the playoffs without him.  Now they need to shop Wiggins.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Never liked his head coaching style and reliance of his top 7 players to the point of running them into the ground. When he coached the Celtics and had to take over for Doc because Doc missed a game or got ejected, you could see he was clueless regarding rotations and minute management of players.

Great assistant defensive coach. Not a good head coach. This was long time coming.

Hoiberg will be great.

Old school screaming coaches are fast becoming irrelevant.

As Woj reports, Hoiberg could end up as their GM rather than coach.
