Rick Carlisle, the president of the coaches association in the MBA, released a statement that read in part, quote.

MBA中的教練協會主席裡克-卡萊爾發表了一份聲明，部分內容如下：引言：。

The coaches association would be remiss not to acknowledge a deeper concern and level of disappointment with the Minnesota head coach hiring process.

教練協會如果不承認對明尼蘇達主教練招聘過程的更深層次的關注和失望程度，那就是失職。

During this past off season, we saw many MBA head coaching vacancies where teams led searches that were diverse and transparent.

在過去的休賽期，我們看到了很多MBA主教練的空缺，各隊帶隊的搜索是多元化和透明化的。

This must be the standard, Rick says now.

這一定是標準，裡克現在說。

Karl Anthony Towns also spoke about the Wolves coaching change for the first time yesterday, saying he absolutely supports Chris Finch, their new coach.

昨天，卡爾-安東尼-唐斯也首次談到了狼隊的教練變更，他表示自己絕對支持他們的新教練克里斯-芬奇。

But he said he also would like to see more diversity among head coaches going forward.

但他表示，他也希望看到未來的主教練更加多元化。

Matt, where are you on the Timberwolves?

馬特，你對森林狼隊的看法是什麼？

Quick change here They They played a game, fired their coach and hired a coach basically all within the same 12 hours.

這裡的變化很快，他們他們打了一場比賽，解僱了他們的教練，聘請了一個教練，基本上都是在同一個12小時內。

This is an unfortunate situation and it's really a double edged sword because who are we to tell a billion dollar owner who they shouldn't shouldn't hire.

這是一個不幸的情況，這真的是一把雙刃劍，因為我們有什麼資格告訴一個身價十億的老闆，他們不應該僱傭誰。

But at the same time, there's just a lack of diversity and I think it starts and I think perk touched on this last week.

但同時，只是缺乏多樣性，我想這是開始的，我想上週perk也提到了這一點。

It starts in the front office.

它從前臺開始。

People hire people who look like them, so there's more people.

人們僱用和他們長得一樣的人，所以人就多了。

I will say the wolf probably have the most diverse front office in the lead, so that that's not what happened in this.

我想說的是，狼可能有最多元化的前臺在上司，所以，這不是發生在這個。

Okay, so that's no excuse.

好吧，所以這不是藉口。

So, no, so no excuse for them, then you know, No excuse.

所以，沒有，所以他們沒有藉口，那麼你知道，沒有藉口。

Like I said, it's just a hard situation.

我說過，這只是一個艱難的局面。

Because who are we as the public to tell, you know, someone who has a billion dollars, you know, company to hire, who they don't want to hire.

因為作為公眾，我們有什麼資格告訴，你知道，一個有十億美元的人，你知道，公司要僱用，他們不想僱用誰。

So it's just unfortunate he's definitely paid his dues.

所以，只是不幸的是，他肯定是付出了代價的。

He should get a chance.

他應該有機會。

And this is not just a basketball problem.

而這不僅僅是一個籃球問題。

This is across sports, period, that's for sure.

這是整個體育界，期間，這是肯定的。

And you're talking about David Vanterpool?

你說的是David Vanterpool?

What do you think, Rich?

你覺得呢，裡奇？

No, I I agree.

不，我，我同意。

I completely agree with that.

我完全同意這一點。

I think when you really look at how this like kind of broke down, it's like how much did Saunders really have a chance.

我想，當你真的看 在如何這喜歡那種打破了， 它像多少做桑德斯 真的有機會。

If you were fired and somebody was hired within hours of it?

如果你被開除後幾個小時內就有人被錄用？

Seems like I understand that that, you know, Coach was gonna be their second choice and there was a lot of eyes on him already.

我好像明白了，教練會是他們的第二選擇，而且已經有很多人盯著他了。

But you could just see that even though their team was struggling, there was a lot of confidence.

但你可以看到，即使他們的球隊在掙扎，也有很多信心。

There probably wasn't a ton of support there, which doesnt lead to the confidence on the court.

可能那裡沒有大量的支持，這並不導致球場上的信心。

So it just look, when somebody asked me when what Minnesota was doing, I was like, Minnesota is doing what Minnesota does.

所以它只是看起來，當有人問我，當明尼蘇達州在做什麼，我就說，明尼蘇達州在做明尼蘇達州的事。

So I'm not surprised when I look at the way this organization has been run pretty much since Kevin Garnett left.

所以，當我看到這個組織在凱文-加內特離開後的運作方式，我並不驚訝。

Well, look, there's always There's always sort of justifications in the specific, and I wanna keep saying this.

好吧，聽著，總是有一些具體的理由，我想一直這樣說。

Chris Finch could go on to be a Hall of Fame head coach.

克里斯-芬奇可能會成為名人堂的主教練。

This really is not about him.

這真的不是他的問題。

It's not even really about David, not at all, because he's been on that staff.

這甚至不是真正的大衛，一點也不是，因為他一直在那個工作人員。

And there's an argument that, hey, if the staff isn't working, you don't wanna go with someone who's been under that same coach.

有一種說法是，嘿，如果工作人員不工作， 你不希望去與某人誰一直在同一個教練下。

Although we've certainly seen that happened in many other teams right now, right?

雖然我們現在肯定在很多其他球隊看到過這種情況吧？

Of course, Nick Nurse.

當然，尼克-努爾斯。

Hi, Ron.

嗨，羅恩

Exactly, um, that all being said, the larger global problem is clearly there and without any sort of process toe let guys go through, make their pitches make their case.

沒錯，嗯，說了這麼多，更大的全球性問題顯然是存在的，沒有任何一種流程，讓人去，讓他們的投稿提出他們的理由。

Give other candidates the experience of auditioning for the job, which will help them in the next job.

給其他應聘者提供試聽的經驗，這對他們接下來的工作有幫助。

That stuff is important.

這個東西很重要。

So even if you do have your guy and certainly Gerson Rosa's goes way back with Chris Finch, they work together in Houston.

所以即使你有你要找的人... ...當然，格森-羅莎的人要追溯到克里斯-芬奇，他們在休斯頓一起工作。

You get that old boys network going back up again, and that is the larger global problem.

你讓那個老男孩的網絡又恢復了，這就是更大的全球問題。

It is not a Timberwolves problem, but it is an MBA problem, and it's something that the league needs to look at.

這不是森林狼隊的問題，但這是MBA的問題，這是聯盟需要研究的問題。

All right, stick with our schedule released theme here.

好了，堅持我們的日程表發佈主題在這裡。

The Lakers have the most national TV games in the second half, followed by the Nets, Warriors, Clippers, Celtics and Bucks.

湖人是下半場全國電視比賽最多的球隊，其次是籃網、勇士、快船、凱爾特人和籃網。

So, Richard, not a shock when you look at this new back half of the schedule we have and who are the most quote popular TV teams.

所以，理查德，當你看到這個新的後半程的時間表時，並不感到震驚，我們有誰是最受歡迎的電視團隊。

But is there someone you want to see on national TV?

但是，有你想在全國電視上看到的人嗎？

More?

還要嗎？

Uhh, No, Tell you the truth, these the only teams I really actually are focused on watching, like and or whoever they're playing against.

呃，不，告訴你真相，這些球隊我真的只有專注於觀察，喜歡和或誰他們的對手。

So it's not like it just l A vs broken the L.

所以並不是說只是l A與破L。

A vs Golden State, although those games will be on their whoever these teams air playing.

A對陣金州，雖然這些比賽會在他們誰這些球隊空中打。

I'm okay with whoever their opponents are because these are the teams I want to see play.

不管他們的對手是誰，我都無所謂，因為這些球隊都是我想看到的比賽。

This is a star driven league, and the best players are gonna be on TV the most.

這是一個明星驅動的聯盟，最好的球員會在電視上出現最多的。

And that's just how it is.

就是這樣的。

If I could see anybody more, I would just like to see Diane.

如果我還能見到任何人，我只想見到黛安。

I love I love what he's doing.

我愛我愛他做的事。

I love what he's putting together and I love his development.

我喜歡他的作品，我喜歡他的發展。

Yeah, how about this?

是啊，這個怎麼樣？

Speaking of the Lakers there on a three game losing streak heading into a road game against the best team in the west tonight.

說到湖人隊，今晚客場對陣西部最好的球隊，已經是三連敗了。

So, Matt, how confident are you with this tough matchup against the jazz who are continuing to kill it?

那麼，馬特，你對這場艱難的比賽有多大的信心，面對持續殺傷力的爵士隊？

I'm not very confident.

我不是很自信。

You know 80 is a big piece.

你知道80塊是個大塊頭。

You want to continue to understand that this the marathon.

你要繼續瞭解，這是馬拉松。

But like I said before when Rich was talking the whole segment, If any team doesn't need a one or two seed, it's the Lakers.

但就像之前裡奇說整段話的時候我說的那樣，如果有哪支球隊不需要一二號種子，那就是湖人。

They're a veteran driven team.

他們是一支老牌勁旅。

If you Noah's far as long as they're in the top four.

如果你諾亞的遠，只要他們在前四名。

Like I said, even if they're out of the top four, if they're in it, they're gonna have a great chance to win it.

就像我說的，即使他們出了前四，如果他們進了，他們也會有很大的機會贏得比賽。

So now right now is just kind of up in the air.

所以，現在只是一種在空氣中。

Just Lakers just need to be healthy.

只是湖人只需要健康。

That's always something that's been a focal point for great teams.

這一直是偉大團隊的焦點所在。

Like we don't care if we're one seed or the A C.

就像我們不在乎我們是一粒種子還是A C。

We wanna be healthy.

我們想要健康。

I'm not extremely confident.

我不是非常自信。

Ultimately, I think LeBron James probably needs a break.

最終，我認為勒布朗-詹姆斯可能需要休息一下。

But right at the time that they were about to probably give him one or consider it you have two starters go out.

但是就在他們即將可能給他一個或者考慮你有兩個主力球員出去的時候。

So now and then you lose.

所以時不時就會輸。

Yeah.

是啊。

Then you lose a couple of games, and now you're looking at this.

然後你輸掉了幾場比賽，現在你看到的是這個。

Well, okay.

好吧，好吧。

Are we gonna give him a couple of days off?

我們要給他放幾天假嗎？

What's gonna happen so I think the Lakers have a little bit of not soul searching, but they got some figuring out to do well.

會發生什麼，所以我覺得湖人隊有一點不省心，但他們要想做好，還得想辦法。

I can't wait for tonight's game.

我已經等不及今晚的比賽了。

The Jazz air for real, for real and the Lakers obviously a little vulnerable right now.

爵士隊的氣勢是真的，是真的，湖人隊現在明顯有點脆弱。
