Masai is great, but he isn't perfect. Would love to hear his honest opinion on things, but we can see the elbow, the event that caused the injury, the minutes, and the shooting %s - that is enough to paint a not so lovely picture.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

When a team invests so much money in players, the long-term ramifications need to be given greater consideration. However, given that Casey is essentially coaching for his job, which MU has publically stated is dependent on the team's performance in the playoffs, is it impossible to consider that what's in Casey's best interest could very well be at odds with what's in the player's/team's long-term best interest?

I get that players get banged up throughout the season, but an injury like Lowry's elbow is not the same as bumps, bruises and nicks.

Your coach needs to be your guy, regardless of results. Either he's a good coach or he isn't.
Bringing back a coach you aren't confident in contingent on results is just asking for him to put his needs ahead of the needs of the organization, and that's what we've seen.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

That is why one would hope that the decision is not taken lightly. I'll all for GM's letting the coach do the coaches job, but long-term concerns like this should likely be the GMs call - with coach, doctors, trainers, player input/recommendation.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

I know Lowry definitely said that, but I thought Casey had said something similar as well, about needing to just play through it at this time of year.
