If Flip can't guide our team to the Finals or better this year, is he a goner? I myself love Flips offensive game, but some of his plan is severely lacking. What do you guys think? Who could be his replacement?

I'm all for Terry port being handed the rings as head coach. He's a tough guy and seems to know how to run it.

[STUCKEY!]

I hope he is a goner if he can't get this group to the finals. I'm sick of wasting our time with Flip. As for a replacement I honestly have no clue.

I think we need a coach who can get us back to our hard-nosed this is our house kind of play even more. Our team has played together enough and long enough to exceute on the offensive end well enough. We need a coach that can make the right plays when we need them.

I think Flip has a good working relationship with the front office and his job has never been in question. He's not going anywhere anytime soon, and honestly, I don't think he should.

I think he's good a coach. With Larry Brown out of the league, Pat Riley soon to follow, and Phil Jackson probably never leaving LA (unless for the Knicks) - there really isn't anybody worth going out to get. Flip is firmly entrenched towards the top of the second tier coaches.

I guess if those guys do call it quits soon, he will be one of the better coaches in the league. It's just that his failures can harm our team when it matters most.

jeff van gundy?

[Austin Kent]

Jeff Van Gundy piques my interest a lot. His New York Knicks team in 1999 was one of the grittiest defensive teams I can remember. Marcus Camby that year became one of my favourite guys to watch, imagine Jason Maxiell in that role. I don't like planning for replacement coaches while Flip Saunders is still on calling the shots (I've never really had anything against him), but I have to say Van Gundy is someone I would take a closer look at. AND, who knows how much differently the Malice at the Palace would have been if Van Gundy was out there hanging on to Ron Artest's leg.

Now, I dont like talking about replacing a coach when we are the number 2 seed.. and a legit contender this year... it really really looks like the players dont like to play for Flip.. I am not saying he lost his team.. but its pretty close..

Whats it like back in 2007? I hear the fashion trends are really weird.

Rasheed is the only player that's had problems with Flip, and they're good now. Our old guys just are too lazy.

Eh.. Its hard to tell if this team just doesnt like coaching at all.. I felt like Flip at least had some of the players still.. but this year.. It is just really obvious... Either way.. back to just hiding in the shadows.. See you guys in a year or so again.. Thats about all I can take from message board people..

Back to the shadows already?

Hope you are still holding down the Marysville courts.

By the way, I like Flip and don't think he is going anywhere, nor should he.

BUUUUUUT,

If we want to play that game, what about the guy the Bulls are apparently going after?
