Breaking news...Adelman era over (merged)
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
What I said was we are headed in that direction, not that we are there right now. And while yes we held teams in 2002-2003 to a low field goal percentage, if you watched those games you would know that our defense was far less smothering than say a Detroit or San Antonio. RA did a nice job, I am not saying he can't coach defense, all I am saying is that it is not the end of the world getting rid of him and acquiring a MORE defensive minded coach.

If this is true, I'm glad to see Adelman going. I wanted him gone throughout the season, he makes very questionable decisions, especially when the game is on the line. I remember numerous times where I've said to myself - "Why does he have this lineup in to start the 3rd?" "Why is Brad Miller in over Shareef" "Why isn't Kevin Martin in, Bonzi has 9 turnovers" etc etc. Adelman is an offensive minded coach who is soft and doesn't enforce defense in my opinion. We need someone who brings toughness and an edge to the team, Adelman never brought that. Avery Johnson won coach of the year, and he's an "in your face" type coach who does NOT let you get away with mistakes. He's very defensive minded, and look what it's done for the Mavs. I give a big kudos to Avery and the Maloofs for making this move.
I was just beginning to fell positive about the team again.
I am disappointed. I think that this actually makes me more sad than I thought it would. I REALLY hope they have a good plan already in mind for the new coach.
I hope that I am wrong in thinking that this is going to end up hurting us more than helping.

Rick adleman was instrumental in the Developemet of Kevin martin by telling kevin martin to think like Richard hamilton, Very innovative move by rick's part in observing the facts that kevin martin had a similar style of game as Rip. This lead to kevin being consistent at the free throw line and coming off of curls shooting the basketball the right way with high percentage. Wher is this Great coach that will develope the young player at.

The Maloof's don't suck!!!!!!! They brought Artest here. Whatever is going to happen I am going to be cool with it. I would prefer to have a more defensed minded coach here rather than the Don Nelson crew..but whatever.
Lighten up on the Maloof's will yah..

Here I am watching General Hosptial and then look up and see the news10 breaking news ticker that Rick will not be brought back! This is not what I expected. I did suspect that the Kings front office had already made a decision, but the staff didn't even have their end of year meeting in Vegas yet!
This is sad, we are losing not only one hell of a coach, but a coaching staff as well. Elston Turner, Pete Carril, TR Dunn, Bubba Burrage and the countless scouts. As I have said in another post, IMHO this coaching staff deserves to be back. A disappointing day in Kings history
Now what? Who else are going to get who's better?

I have a feeling that not only have they(Maloofs) decided on a coach, they also have decided on NOT re-signing Bonzi, too. I think that they are taking the 'cheap' route and handing over the SG position to Martin, but THAT will play out in the upcoming weeks. Stay tuned for a VERY interesting offseason...
Oh please. Kevin Martin had the talent and he worked very hard over this past summer to hone his skills and be ready.
Your comment about Adelman not playing Kevin is WRONG. Kevin was already starting to be a legitimate off-the-bench performer when he stepped up because of Bonzi's injuries. That wasn't in spite of Adelman.
