Miller4Prez66 545 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 I don't get why people are freaking out about Vaughn. I just don't. And no. People assumed that. I'm not freaking out over Vaughn, but I don't like that he has only been an assistant coach for 2 years. Firing SVG for him is a massive downgrade, but whoever we hire may just end up being a sacrifical lamb for the franchise as they rebuild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted July 15, 2012 I dont think we need a relaxed Jameer, we need him to step his game up. I know you were speaking from a mindset perspective, but I wasn't pleased with his demeanor last season at all. He needs to step it up across the board imo. That being said I don't hate the contract given the alternatives out there. He is running out of time to produce all-star worthy numbers again, so he isn't the long term answer still. I liked what we saw from Jameer once Dwight was out of the picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SATOLS 7 Report post Posted July 15, 2012 “@GeryWoelfel: League sources say Jacque Vaughn is front-runner, with Lindsey Hunter second for Magic job.” Uh oh. If the Magic hire Jacque Vaughn as their head coach, then either everyone else told them no, or they are just trying to punish the fans. They won't be trying to build for the future. They'll just be biding their time. For God's sake, the best things you could say about Vaughn as a player was he didn't turn over the ball and he was an adequate defender. Hennigan needs to get a look at some old game film. The Magic hated him as a PLAYER so much that they only kept him on the roster one season. He played 10-plus years but never averaged better than 6.6 pts and 4.3 assists. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vaughn made a better NBA PG than Stan would have. So, by your logic, he will be a better coach, and since Stan was a hell of a coach, Vaughn should be nothing short of amazing. Am I doing this right?

SATOLS 7 Report post Posted July 15, 2012 I'm not saying you had to be an NBA player to be a coach. A lot of the guys who weren't NBA PGs are assistant coaches for a long time before becoming a head coach. But most of the former point guards who are NBA coaches were good point guards -- i.e., Doc Rivers, Mark Jackson, Skiles. Avery Johnson was at least known as a motivating floor leader. Vinny Del Negro was nothing to scream about either, but he was OK. Not all former NBA PGs were good coaches either. Johnny Davis was an NBA point guard, too, (and he won a championship) but hasn't panned out as a head coach (though he supposedly is a real good assistant). So, you're honestly going to tell me that you are confident that Jacque Vaughn will be a good NBA head coach? Because it makes so much sense if you are planning to have a team mostly with guys who haven't played in the NBA to have a coach who has limited experience coaching in the NBA (Vaughn 2 years as an assistant and Hunter 1 year). Or are you just disagreeing to disagree with me? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
