Sam Mitchell - NBA’s Worst Coach

LangLang wrote this today:

Once again, we find ourselves at a familiar clearing. The Toronto Raptors may very well be the perfect NBA team to sponsor 7-Eleven convenience stores nationwide. After all, we can’t just seem to close the door on anyone.

Another night and another dagger later, Toronto finds it’s already distant playoff hopes slipping into the basketball abyss. I’ve been contending for quite some time against popular opinion that Toronto would be better suited with another coach at the helm. Sam Mitchell is inarguably a very well-grounded individual with a level perspective on just about everything, but he’s not head coach material. If Toronto fans has been guilty of one thing, it’s falling in love with the sizzle rather than the steak. And time and time again, the Raptors have been unable to escape basketball peril at the most crucial times.

In the latest issue of Sport’s Illustrated, Sam Mitchell was voted by 248 players as the Worst Coach in the NBA. Bear in mind that players were not allowed to vote for their own coach. At such a delicate junction in the season, with the recent hiring of new GM Bryan Colangelo and the Raptors battle for the final playoff spot in the East, Sam Mitchell’s job has never been more at stake.

Comments and opinions are welcome on what you think of Sam Mitchell. I’d love to hear your input.
