		I hope it is not his last stop on the coaching circuit, because I really think Cowens is a decent coach who is capable of running a team.

		I'm also not holding the benching of Marc Jackson against Cowens, since all indications are this was a directive from management (borne out by the fact that Jackson has two DNPs in the two games since Cowens was fired).
		But perhaps we should cut Cowens some slack because of all the injuries his squad suffered - the Warriors basically played the second half of the season with a CBA team.
		This season, with a healthy crew, the Warriors are tied for 18th in defensive efficiency with a mark of 104.2.
