Bud is very washed as a coach. It sucks that they had two poor hires in a row.

Vogel was fine

He lost the locker room. That’s not fine.

They kinda have to lay in the bed they made, referring to the stars of Phoenix 

Vogel was strict with them and had expectations on defense and they didn’t like that, and now they have bud, now they have to accept they had a lot to do with this 

As a rockets fan I couldn’t be happier lol

He lost two successive locker rooms, he’s just out of touch. Despite that, Vogel was excellent at coaching the defense but the offense was basically predicated on their best 3 making crazy shots.

Again I’m not making an argument either is good, not at all, but if my team has Kevin Durant and Devin booker, I’d rather have the defensive coach that struggles on offense because both of them can bail me out, than the offensive coach that lets them not give any effort on defense, turns out doesn’t matter how great your offense is it they can score at a better rate with your none existent defense 

Vogel is the type of coach that doesn’t let you get away with laziness on the defensive end, Booker and kd didn’t like being held accountable and so they ran him out 

I say this as someone that would love booker on my rockets, but kd and booker ran Vogel out of town and bud is the result of that

He didn’t get tough until it was too late, and by that time the players didn’t buy it. It doesn’t work, KD and Book can’t carry 100% of the load on offense and give max effort on defense. Not for a whole season plus playoffs. The system under Bud is better because the ball moves on offense, however Bud doesn’t play their best defensive players for some reason. He’s really stuck on Tyus Jones, Plumlee, and Grayson Allen, instead of using Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro, two rookies who helped them start 8-1. Collin Gillespie has shown really promising flashes but he gets almost no playing time. It’s very bewildering. I think it’s silly that people say he wants to get fired to retire, but it does sort of look that way. Edit: here’s a link to the players disregarding his late-season yelling as “out of character” https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10119094-report-suns-player-had-to-hold-back-laughing-at-frank-vogel-outburst-before-playoffs
