Treatment of Harris Has Been Really Foul

I’m curious. Is it just here, or do outstanding coaches of winning NBA teams elsewhere get to wake up the morning after a convincing playoff victory and read in their hometown papers about how the owner is being “careful” not to rule out the possibility that they will be fired if they don’t win another game this season?

Do we know how many owners watching these playoffs on television would like nothing better than to have the “oft-maligned” Del Harris available at the end of the season? Are we nuts?
