Terry Stotts Was Not the Only Issue for the Trail Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers fired Head Coach Terry Stotts last Friday. Much of the weekend was taken up with rumors of who would replace him. Lost in all of the back-and-forth was a deeper question: how much will a coaching change affect Portland’s fortunes? Or, more simply, was coaching the problem here? That’s the topic of this edition of the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag.

Dave,

I want to hear your thoughts on Stotts getting fired. I know you supported him. Do you still feel the same or are you ready for a fresh start?
