The Detroit Pistons (armed with Tom Gores’ checkbook) were able to lure Monty Williams away from taking a year off, giving him one of the richest deals in NBA coaching history.
Williams was fired by the Suns even though he was the one who took their franchise from the worst in the league to a perennial contender.
One of the complaints fans had about Williams was that he wasn’t able to solidify his playoff rotation and didn’t make the right adjustments. My opinion was that he just faced a much better team, but there is nothing that fans love to complain about more than “rotations,” except for maybe the nebulous “adjustments.
