Tim Floyd is done.

Team is 1-5 and he decides now is the time.  He quit on his team.

Not all coaches can handle having one of the worst shooting teams in the country

Me no likely.

The little article in SI Online almost made it sound like he'd never been successful anywhere. 

 

They're 1-5 this year and obviously suck with the lone win coming against a D-III team.  Never lead UTEP to the NCAA tourney.  And ...

 

"Floyd was also the coach of the Bulls during Michael Jordan’s second retirement and failed to win more than 17 games in a season."

 

So, how did he get a job in the NBA if he's sucked his whole coaching career?

Story was probably thrown together by some young'n who gets paid diddly to "write content."

He just rode the crest of the Johnny Orr wave right into the cushy job with the Bulls!  

 

disclaimer, it's a joke.  Everyone knows Orr is a career .500 guy at ISU, the real success came after he retired.  One could argue that Floyd was the real architect of that team's success.

 

(Johnny Orr only had 20+ win seasons 5 times out of the 14 years he was there.  20 wins twice, 21 wins twice and 22 wins once while Floyd had 23, 24, 22 and 12 wins in his four years.  Interestingly, Danny Nee got to 20 wins 7 times in his 14 years, but I digress...)

Good ol' Pink Floyd had it rollin' for a good while. Then he upgraded to the pros where it all went down the crapper.

He also had it rolling with USC until it was found out he was involved in paying OJ Mayo and ended up back in El Paso where he was an assistant under Don Haskins at the start of his career.
