Something fell apart during the finals (and the refs had more to do with it than Avery), and that something is still fallen apart. It could very easily be Josh Howard or Jason Terry.

Are you kidding? Did you even read what I said? Any coach could get them to the finals? That's the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I said.
If you have a championship contender in need of a coach, you hire someone with experience. Jeez.
And no, Avery was not the right coach... EVER. Dirk got us to the finals. Dirk. Not Avery. Dirk. Yeah, the refs screwed us, but not half as hard as Avery did. I've never seen a team favored to win a title suddenly forget how to set picks, or throw entry passes before the shot clock expires, or move without the ball. Simple, basic, kindergarten fundamentals like this were just not in Avery's playbook.
