Just before we embark on this delightful journey of finding a new standard for the fat rich NBA owners to use in hiring and firing their employees. As if they don't have enough standards for making people's life miserable.

Anyways a big shout to the big black hole, Coach Mike Dunleavy, Sr., he is the gift that keeps giving.

He was not satisfied with just crippling one NBA team for eternity in the L.A. Clippers, he also had to send his son, the little black hole, to undermine whatever Larry Bird and the good people at cursed Indiana Pacers are doing. 

Huge balls, that Mr. Dunleavy, Sr. Actively serving as a leech in both conferences of the greatest basketball league in the whole world. That deserves a mention in the History records, I believe.

Speaking about History records, how come most expansion or new teams always pick a crappy coach to be their first head coach. A good example is P.J. Carlesimo with the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder. What he started spanned two cities and tears of frustration from the fans tired of losing and being the permanent laughingstock of the NBA.

The favorite comeback line of most NBA fans, when you start teasing them about how mediocore their home team is playing is this:

"Atleast, we are not the OKC Thunders"

Anyways, the team owner should meet up with his coaches and general manager and make a list of the attainable free agents and how to make the most of what they have currently on their roster.

The owner will go out and get these reasonably attainable free agents.

Then he sets a standard for the number of wins they want in that particular season based on the roster that he assembled.

The GM and the Head Coach should then spend the entire off season seriously practicing how to utilize each player on their squad to the best of his ability on a video game system. Preferably a PS3 or X-Box 360.

At the end of the off-season, almost time for pre-season. The Coach and the Gm should have a fairly good idea of the number of wins and losses they should have for the whole season having played with their team against the toughest level in the video game.

They will then give these number to the owner. Who will either increase or decrease his earlier estimate, based on whether he feels the coach can do better or if he feels he is pushing the coach & gm closer to the edge of no return.

Once the season starts and 25 games into the season, the team is underachieving.

The fans deserve to cast a vote and pick one player to be publicly stoned. Not to death of course, but just to get the point across that "we are not playing".

50 games into the season, and they are still below expectations. Public shooting  of a few bench players to fuck with the rest.

And this is also when you will leak to the Town's Favorite Newspaper, that just before the season, the head coach and the gm signed a document promising to be roasted extra dry during a halftime show  if they underachieved.

At the time they signed it, they thought it was funny. Now look who's having the last laugh.

This method will ensure that human con artists like Coach Dunleavy, Tim Floyd, Jim O'Brien, Marc Iavaroni, Bernie Bickerstaff , Randy Wittman , Jimmy Rodgers and Brian Winters never get a chance to sink their claws onto an NBA coaching job.
