I think he's an overrated coach. Love the guy, but overrated. Colangelo will do what he wants, and I don't think this guy is capable of making a move that isn't fantastic.

I think he's earned another shot, with the way he got this young team into the playoffs.

Welcome to GoTeamsGo ProfessorChaos. Based on your user name, I get the feeling you just like to stir up trouble(which I like, by the way). So are you serious about Mitchell or are you just joshin'? And if you're serious, why do you think he's overrated? Have you seen the Raps play on a daily basis?

He's not overrated. He did a great job this year.

[ProfessorChaos]

He is coach of the year based, really on improvement.

9 new players, and that didn't have to do with him. Colangelo made the deals.

It was also based on taking this roster, and making them contenders.

But they weren't really that good, fourth in the east. Bargnani had a good year, as expected from a first overall pick, Chris Bosh had an all-star season, which you'd expect from Chris Bosh, and TJ Ford was a number 8 overall pick, and had a good year before his injuries, Anthony Parker was one of the top players in Europe, and Calderon and MoPete had years you could expect from those two guys. You just had a group of guys people didn't really look at a lot.

I draw a comparison to the 2006 Carolina Hurricanes. They weren't expected to do well, but after the Cup win people realized who was on that team. They had a solid defense led by Commodore and Wesley, good scoring in Brind'Amour, Staal, Whitney, Stillman, and Cole. The only shocker was Cam Ward, who flopped anyways.

And by the way, I do have an reputation at Pucking Rivals, Wow Hockey, HTR, and even Colbert Nation as being a bit of a troll, so ya, I like trouble.

As a bit of a trouble maker myself, I respect you. But now that Mitchell has some expectations, let's see what he does.

[Lefty Noob]

No chance Mitchell gets fired now. The team just gave him a new contract.

According to the AP, "Colangelo and the Raptors gave Mitchell the means to refurnish Tuesday, signing him to a three-year contract with a team option for a fourth year. Financial terms were not disclosed, but general manager Bryan Colangelo said the contract puts Mitchell in 'the upper echelon of coaches in the NBA.'... Mitchell, whose career record is 107-139, was the NBA's lowest-paid coach last season, earning an estimated $2 million. His contract was set to expire on June 30."

After getting the Raptors in excellent playoff position, winning coach of the year it would be stupid to get rid of him now. Maybe a couple of years of failing to win a playoff series... then we'll talk.
