We, deservedly, fired Jerry Green after making the tournament four straight years. It wouldn't exactly be unprecedented. I'm glad the OP "knew" this run was in the works a while ago. I wonder how much he was sweating the end of the Iowa play in game.

Jerry Green wasn't fired for his performance on the court. He was fired for being an unlikable jackass behind the scenes, publicly daring the admin to fire him, and publicly insulting the fans.

His teams tanked every year towards the end of the season and he had no control over the players. There were plenty of problems with his performance on the court.

when the op teaches me something about how basketball works, shoot me in my bad leg. Please.

Especially when he's comparing a damn pro team with multiple championships and top 50 nba players to a college coach who was one loss from being fired for not making a tournament of 68 teams.

Same poster said he didn't know Stokes could run the floor, accept a pass and finish a dunk ahead of a big man, though he has done it a dozen or so times this year. Do us a favor and teach us things that you know about. Like maybe softball or cornhole.

Some of you "fans" can understand how basketball actually works.

Every team loses a few games to worse teams regular season. Do you think the Heat are concerned they lost 7 of 11? No. They know the post season counts. I and a few knowledgeable posters told you don't panic. We were on track for the tourney and that would meet expectations. We were not ranked. Yes we had a couple of bad games but that happens in basketball. You don't start petitions to hire another coach or say a coach should be fired mid season with a winning record and on pace for the tourney. Now we made it and the players are doing what coach has been preaching all along. I hope some of you better understand now, how bball works. Maybe you will wait until we are eliminated from post season contention or at least have a losing record before calling for the head of a coach who has improved and met expectations every year.
