Did he lose control at the end? Yes. Is he totally to blame? No. Was it time for him to step down? Probably. He took a risk on Sidney who he was told by other coaches it would cost him his job. He thought he had dealt with enough personalities he could handle one more. In the end, it did. But to say that Rick Ray, a man that won 10 GAMES last year, is already a better coach is laughable and unthinkable.
But what if Rick Ray's team has a higher average bench press and a faster team .40? Doesnt that make him a better coach?
