Congratulations to Chauncey. Hope he does great, except when his team faces the Nuggets.
If you are talking about what I think you are talking about, I never knew about it myself. That sure as hell doesn't mean he did anything wrong. I just didn't even know that happened.

Yeah. I knew about it before, but I knew he had been vetted by ESPN (who would not have hired him had they found something they didn't like) and two NBA teams before the Blazers. Blazer fan outrage seems a little odd to me given all that.
There's some politics. Lots of folks were excited about Becky Hammon. Some of those people weren't paying attention because of basketball - they were focused on the breaking of the gender barrier. Being let down because she was passed over for a guy who paid off a rape accuser is a frustrating narrative. Considering the decision was made by one of the few female owners (I think I'm supposed to call them "governors" now") in professional sports, I don't think there's much of anything to see here.
Hammon will get her shot, maybe this year. It just won't be Portland. Good coach and the whole NBA seems to love coaches from the Pop tree.
I think San Antonio would be a perfect spot for her. Pop isn't gonna coach forever and the players respect her. Sue Bird is another I think could do it.

beware the habu
Okay, remove the black-n-gold tinted glasses. How do you think Chauncey will do as a HC?
He has already proven he can lead a team and mentor young players on that level. Proven he knows what it takes to win. That's most of the job.

If I'm the Magic, I'm hiring Hammon.

I think he's a great fit for that roster-seems like there are a few meatheads on that team.
Portland’s ceiling with this group is capped by their defense. If he can get their D in order, they can be a contender.
If I’m Hammon, I’m running away from that job. That person is being set up to fail. They’re starting a long rebuild. If it goes well, odds are they’re going to can whatever coach gets them there to “take the next step”.
