If Casey had won a championship last year we'd bring him back because he was a championship level coach, instead we brought him back due to fan/media pressure after a long dismal playoff drought. The only comparable situation that actually involves a player is Kobe in LA. The Lakers would have probably been much better off letting Kobe sign somewhere else instead of giving him the monster deal he's on now, but fan/media pressure made that an impossibility. The Calderon situation just isn't close, there wasn't a good reason to not re-sign Calderon. There were plenty of reasons to not re-sign Casey, they just didn't outweigh the pressure to bring him back, at least for another season.
