WizBlog RSS FeedTHE 3RD LONGEST TENURED NBA COACH IS…
The Western Conference finals pits the NBA’s two longest tenured coaches (with current team) against each other in Utah’s Jerry Sloan and San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich.
Did you know that our very own Eddie Jordan, who in his four years in Washington, is currently the NBA’s third longest tenured coach?
Thanks to ESPN/ABC’s Dan Patrick for pointing this one out during today’s pre-game broadcast.

Good luck Coach because we have not had much here with this injury bug hitting us the last couple of years. I have all the confidence in your abilities to be a coach who can look a player in the eye and say son we need you to bring it each and every night and mean it! I’m confident in your ability also to say to the professional player you don’t have it tonight lets see if the other guy can provide the energy and magical skills we need to win the game!Its a hard job and only you can provide those special skills at negotiating we need to motivate them or else !I would give you Coach Jordan a B+ for keeping good Team Chemistry,B for Decision Making For The Win and finally C for your teams Defense Prowlness!!

I wish we could have had a full season to see what coach jordan could do with a full roster the entire season but either way, I was very impressed with the way he got the team to come out and compete every game that they were suppose to be underdogs for.

Nara, I don’t think many if any teams go an entire season without an injury..
We just happened to have ours to the top guys at the wrong time. =(

Yeah that’s right WizDom, but I think that to be a serious contender we have to learn how to play without one of our top guys. At the end, without Caron and Gilbert it was clearly a horrible situation, but when we had only one guy out such as in february with Antawn or later on with Caron, we have to learn how to beat teams even if we don’t have our big 3, unless we’ll never get any ring…

wizdom, do you know if we have defense coach?

I agree LilGil, we have to presume one of the “big three” is always going to be out. Most teams are without one of their stars a lot of the time.
And I would also like to know what happened to the defensive consultant we started the year with. Who was he? What were his qualifications? Did he stay with the team?
Sorry to say this, but I don’t think our guys hustled enough on defense. They were often slow to rotate. Maybe Jordan is too easy on them.

I don’t believe we have a person designated “defense coach”…
Maybe we’ll go out and get one this offseason?

Eddie Jordan is not a good head coach.The team was not doing well before the injuries hit
Has anyone heard the rumors about Jameson getting traded?
