I’ve never really cared for Karl that much. Not a terrible coach per se, but not a difference maker either. Nuggets are consistently good now for one reason and one reason only, Chauncey’s leadership skills, not to mention he’s a damn good player too.

There isn’t a lot of job security in the NBA, look at Byron Scott or Avery Johnson, two very good coaches who led their teams to the NBA Finals and later fired. I don’t think many fans see the egos that these coaches have to deal with. When Marcus Camby played for the Nuggets Karl had to let him get his ‘touches’ or else he would lose what Camby did on the other end.
Saying all that, though, there needs to be something done with Balkman. The guy is a quality player, who must have wronged Karl. Not playing him not only hurts the team because there is one less player to depend on and it also hurts his trade value. Sometimes I wonder if Karl has watched Hoosiers one to many times.
