Hated seeing that happen to my dude. One of the last protege’s of the Cotton era. Can’t help but to believe he has much to offer a coaching staff.

Watson was a total liability for the team. He did nothing to engage the locker room and the team was arguably at their lowest points in those days.
He was an angry guy

Still can’t believe Hornacek was let go before Morris was traded. Pretty typical with how the team was run at the time, though.

dude took a team that was projected to win 18 games and won 48. Unfortunately that then set an unrealistic expectation for him given the roster that he just couldn’t keep improving on a short leash.
The bright side was that Watson didn’t give a shit about the season and just let Booker do what he wanted, which helped lay the groundwork for the player he’d become. Hornacek seemed only to want him as a bench shooter like Korver.
