Time For Kurt Rambis to Go
Why is a coach who is 32-124 still even consider a possibility to coach the Timberwolves next year? 32-124!?!? Randy Wittman was 38-105. Randy is one of the most terrible coaches to ever stalk an NBA sideline, yet Rambis is no where near as successful as "Witt" was as a Wolves coach. Bill Blair -- awful, awful coach -- 27-75 with the Wolves. Had Blair hung on to his job, he could have gone 5 and 49 and matched Rambis. Sidney Lowe -- was thrown into the mix having never coached much: 33-102. Way, way better than Rambis. Look, we all know Kurt doesn't want to be here, and he realizes that he had an easy gig in L.A. and he really wants to get the hell out of here. So, good bye.

By way of providing "equal time," please identify what you consider Rambis to have "done well" while coaching the Wolves. While this may, ultimately, be an exercise in damning Rambis with faint praise, it is worth the time for purposes of evaluation.
Consider, for example, ol' Brad Childress. His greatest claim was, perhaps, that he could be fairly characterized as "structured" in his thinking (albeit rote, mundane, tiresome, unimaginitive, consistently petty, etc.).
Doesn't scream.
Doesn't panic.
Doesn't set arbitrary expectations.
Doesn't try to "win at any cost."
Would be a great 5th grade girls B Traveling Coach.
