The Denver Nuggets have decided to part ways with head coach Michael Malone, who led the team to its first NBA championship just last year. Alongside this decision, general manager Calvin Booth's contract will not be extended. This unexpected move surfaces as the Nuggets are positioned to be in playoff contention, sparking reactions from other coaches and players. Malone's ten-season tenure resulted in a commendable record, and he leaves a significant impact on the coaching landscape. David Adelman is set to step in as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
The timing, it's tough with three games to go and the position they are in to play for everything... I would not be here without him.
The championship coach that he is, for sure he'll be back in this league coaching very soon, but not something you want to hear.
It's a very weird landscape for coaching in the NBA, in my opinion... all the guys that you mentioned, including Mike Malone, they've won.
