For the majority of Clippers fans, it was a brutal blow when the team decided to pick up the option on coach
Vinny Del Negro. While the former Spur isn’t a terrible coach, he certainly is not one of the top 10 coaches in the league, and with a record of 154-158 over his four seasons, has not shown the talent or acumen that makes one think he could become one someday.
If this was five years ago, having a coach like Del Negro wouldn’t be a problem. He is, at the very least, not
Mike Dunleavy.
However, this is not five years ago. In 2013, Clippers expectations begin at making the conference finals, while many on the team would consider nothing less than a championship a lost season.
