Inmates run the asylum
What's happened in Orlando in the recent months shows just exactly what's wrong with professional sports.
You have a player, a franchise player, who is paid a lot of money, voicing his discontent about his administration.
You have a coach who knows of the player's discontent and quite literally calls him out on it. The player's response? Aww shucks it wasn't me.
You have a general manager in pure damage control mode, disavowing facts and statements that have been made.
So how does the tragedy play out? The owner fires both the general manager (forget the spin he was fired), and the coach. All in an effort to appease the player who has not committed to the franchise beyond next year.
My two cents would be for the player to shut up and learn how to score with either hand in the post. Oh and being able to step out from beyond 5 feet and be an effective scorer would be a nice touch.
My two cents for the owner are you just screwed up by firing one of the better coaches in the NBA, who is both sound on a technical level and has a personality on the sidelines. Yes he's opinionated. Yes he's a dead ringer for Ron Jeremy, but yes he is a good coach.
