To be fairer to Babcock than he deserves, his hiring of basketball...
...coaches has been very good.
Unfortunately, that's only part of the job. You have to support and retain them as well and his performance in that department has been garbage.
But, yes, to your point...talk of firing coaches (in any sport) is beyond pointless right now. The problem is higher up the chain. We'll find out how high based on whether or not Babcock is replaced and, if so, who we're able to hire to replace him.
Not entirely sure I have confidence we have people who know how to hire an AD right now.
