Coach Tim Floyd is sick of losing, sick of bad management decisions and sick of veteran Charles Oakley?s talk.  He's sick of his young players' lack of intensity. And last, he is tired of losing. Jay Mariotti of Chicago Sun-Times said that its time for Krause to hire a real NBA coach in his most recent column.

Mariotti reports that Krause would accept Floyd's surrender and issue a fair settlement for the millions of dollars owed the man for years of torment.

?If Krause can't do us all a favor and follow his former fishing buddy out the door, he at least should see Floyd's pain and put him out of his misery?, writes Mariotti.

On the flip side is the view of Chicago Tribune writer K.C. Johnson, who says that a new side Floyd has come to the forefront as he again addressed the media about his future.

"I've never felt like I can't coach," Floyd said. "And I'm going to stay true to myself, stay true to these players and try to do what I think is right.  If that leads to being unpopular with players because I'm doing the difficult thing, then that's OK. Because I think it's the right thing to do in a growing, developmental organization vs. an organization that's the Lakers or Sacramento."
