You do realize AIRBHG was joking, right? I did the exact same thing in the stupid "when will the bball team win there 20th game" thread.
Trade all their players ....this is Tim Floyd and the Chicago Bills er BULLS ...Redux
The unstable program that can't recruit that you're referring to has been to 4 straight NCAA tournaments. Something that hasn't ever been done in the history of Iowa State Basketball. (and yes, the disclaimer that if Orr was working with a 64 team field he prolly would have made more tourneys, but still, the fact stands).
Bummer for him, but not exactly surprising after he narrowly avoided getting fired last month. NBA coaches are basically hired to be fired. It's rare for a coach to last more than five seasons anywhere, even the good ones. Right now I think there are only about a half dozen guys who have been with the same team for five or more seasons.
He'll land somewhere else. I think he did a good job in Phoenix, but poor roster management and injuries to key players eventually caught up with him. Didn't help when Morris went in the tank after they traded away his brother.

Seems a lot of his downfall was brought on by the GM and Hornacek not being on the same page. The Dragic-Bledsoe-Thomas pg rotation was handled terribly and Dragic forced his way out and the Suns then turned Thomas and the Lakers top 3 protected pick into Brandon Knight and a Cavs first round pick. They had the odd Chandler signing, and Morris cap space trade to chase Aldridge at the last minute on something that seemed like a long shot at best. It's a weird team right now, some decent pieces but doesn't seem like they have a real good handle on what direction they want to head going forward.
JH is going to get fully paid out on his NBA contract (like all fired coaches do), I don't think he cares about $10M from Iowa State when he's going to get something like $6M from the Suns for not coaching (being unemployed).
Jeff Hornacek out at Phoenix.
unfortunately for him its official. Any chance he becomes an asset to ISU, or do we stay away from the too many cooks in the kitchen scenario after what happened in football? either way, hope he lands on his feet.

A) What's the "too many cooks in the kitchen" problem that happened with football? B) What's that have to do with basketball?

Lands on his feet? I don't think the guy will be getting in the welfare line anytime soon.
