Three Down and Countless More To Go

Word from sources out of Toronto is that the Raptors have fired their head coach. This is surprising to say the least, as Sam Mitchell is just two years removed from being named the NBA Coach of the Year. (Woody is still waiting for the NBA to give him the same recognition) Sam Mitchell led the Raptors to a 156-189 record in his five years with the team (if you do not like math that equals to a .452 winning percentage). He graduated from Mercer college in Macon, GA and if, fingers crossed, Woodson was ever to get the axe, his name is sure to pop up. Keep track now that three NBA coaches have been fired this season (Eddie Jordan and PJ Carlesimo being the others) and Woodson is still staring in disbelief on our sideline. Just for good measure, Woodson is 112-228 in his 4+ years with us. Again for the non-math fans this equates to a .329 winning percentage.



UPDATE 12/4/08: It seems the folks at firesammitchell.com are pretty happy with this decision.
