if ime can’t figure it out, the best case scenario is a short leash next season, but i highly doubt it. he’s a rookie head coach hired by arguably the most storied franchise in basketball, who were very vocal about his fit and his hiring. unless he does something egregious that triggers a “termination for cause” firing, he gets more than one full season to work it out.
if this season continues to be a circus of losing, he will get the offseason to make changes to his coaching approach, his staff, and his offensive/defensive strategies. if next season is a repeat of this season, he still probably gets all of next season.
it’s frustrating but the c’s are going to avoid the controversy that would surround a quick trigger for ime. wyc and brad will be very conservative in their approach, while also being very supportive of ime publicly. buckle up, c’s fans, ime is here for a while. let’s hope he figures it out soon.
