He’s a mediocre coach. Notice everyone basically considered him an average coach until he got three superstars, then he was great. Now his stars are aging out, and, at best, he’s a good coach, but not in considered one of the greats.

And he is the best candidate for the Olympic team – this was an isolated event and one that the NBA didn’t want to see repeated by other teams. League message: you can rest players when ever you want…just not all of them on the same night, especially if it’s a marquee match up for a nationally televised game (uh, because we make money on tv and if we bench our stars, the entertainment value of the game has decreased. And sports are entertainment).

What has the dude done wrong? He’s increased the NBA’s stature in the sports world, he’s increased the size of the NBA, just about every measurable metric known has increased with David Stern. He’s easily the best commissioner in sports today. Can’t argue for Bud Selig, the NHL guy (whoever he may be) or even Roger Goodell with his Hitler-like control over the NFL – Stern is a good ambassador for the game and he was forced to fine the Spurs or we would see a lot of teams resting players this soon into the season. We’re not even a quarter of the way through and Pop feels like he needs to rest 4 stars? Get real. Parker and Green are both young and should have had no problem playing in the Heat game the other night. Pop took it too far by resting all 4 of those players.

He IS the best candidate for this job, There isnt an active coach in the league right now thats more credible, hell even in college. I mean as weird as it seems, coach K was the only coach of the college basketball dynasties I could see them giving that job to because he was the major reason for their success, unlike Bill Self (Kansas) Roy Williams (North Carolina) and Cal (Kentucky) already coaches the Dominican Republic. The only collegiate coach i see with SOMEWHAT of a shot at the college level is Jim Boeheim.

SN: Feb 1, 2014 cant come fast enough smh..

Too bad this Napoleon-complex douchebag will likely hurt Team USA’s chances just to continue his personal vendetta against Popovich. We’ve just witnessed the breadth of Stern’s petulance and immaturity, so there isn’t much holding him back from continuing his grade-school antics no matter how it might damage the national team.
