As much as I think this is the right call, I feel for him and his family. Whatever my concerns were with his coaching style, he is a classy guy and I hope he ends up on his feet.
KCRA.com has a clear feed. That News10 feed yesterday was horrible quality!
But it sure doesn't sound like a mutual decision. That was big of Joe to talk to Rick on the phone for 5 minutes. Ummmm yeah. I hope a NBA team picks up Adelman and that he wins a championship. He deserves it.
It's clear he was terminated. He wanted to come back but it appears the Maloofs didn't even talk to him. They just had Geoff call him and tell him he's fired.
Mutual my ***, sounds more like he was kicked out the door. He deserved to be talked to AT LEAST and i was rooting for him to get the extension. He wanted to come back and the Maloofs should have let him.
Does seem to be a trend in the NBA. I always read about traded/fired coaches and players complaining about how they were never contacted personally about what happened and found out about it the hard way. I wonder why the league does that-could it just be a litigation matter?
