Feels like most posters aren´t old enough to remember that RC made the ECFs in 03 with the Pistons and 04 with the Pacers. Was COY in his first season as a head coach.Not a full on RC hater, but honestly, the comparison to Avery hit me as pretty spot on (I mean, Avery was pretty good until the team stopped listening to him).
Sure he did some good things with the Pacers and Pistons, he was also let go because of his demeanor and stubbornness. I remember criticisms of him not playing rookies back then too, lots of people defending him in those accusations with Prince.
I think there is something to all of it, but you take the good with the bad and hope that most of the time the good outweighs the bad.
