I told my buddy when he was hired he would be the last coach the Mavs hired. (I didn’t mean that literally) but I thought he would be here a LONG time is all. And I was still surprised to see him go. But I am not surprised by all these stories of him being a curmudgeon. I think that was pretty clear the entirety of his time here.
And you were right! I think he was the third longest-tenured coach in the league, essentially tied with second-place Spoelstra. I believe the median tenure for an NBA coach is like three seasons.
