the dude gives up on defense for the next 5 plays if fouls dont go his way.


Ask any kings fan, most of the coaches fired over the last years, was because of Cousins.

The guy is so "great" but continues to lead his teams to mediocrity with his attitude.

He's a top ten player with a star's attitude. Part of contemporary coaching is dealing with stars.

and i would say that 1 out of 5 of the last kings coaches actually was able to deal with his attitude.

1 for 5.

Coaches get sick of his shit quicker then any other "star diva".

They're better than what you'll find in Cincinnati.

We used to have a pro ball team.

Since when were JR Smith, Carmelo Anthony, and Cousins considered credible? All 3 of them have had documented issues with chemistry wherever they went. I'm not a huge Karl fan, but he had two superstars with Gary Payton and Sean Kemp. How did they feel about him? Did Karl have these problems in Milwaukee?

He's had a long history of issues with star players.

Jason Concepcion: Any time you have to decide between a 63-year-old journeyman coach with a history of alienating top talent going all the way back to the days of Kendall Gill​ and young Ray Allen, and a 6-foot-11 behemoth with a generational mix of talent and skill, I think you have to go with the coach. Especially if the coach hasn’t even been there for a whole season. I get that Boogie is tough to deal with. But reaching star players is kind of in the head coach job description along with the X’s-and-O’s part. That’s what the money is for, George.

Interesting...maybe his ego got inflated after the Sonics had so much success during the Gary Payton days in the 90's.

I think he's just a grumpy old guy who can't adapt with changing times. It's not to say he's a bad coach in terms of X's and O's, so much as he has severe issues relating with players.

no its his mentality to give star players shit to make everyone else play better. for it to be about the "team". Some stars cant deal with it. It really only works if the coach is given total control. Like billicheat in the NFL. Which is why i enjoyed his time here in Denver. regardless of the first round exit. Basketball games were fun to go to with friends.

I didn't get that impression. Maybe he's a poor sport? I thought he had a very likeable personality.
