In his first year as coach of the Trail Blazers, Schuler led the team to a 49-33 record, winning the NBA Coach Of The Year Award . He followed that up with a 53-29 campaign; though both seasons resulted in first-round playoff defeats. In his third season with the Blazers, the team was racked with dissension and struggled to a losing 39-43 record; Schuler was fired during the latter half of the season. Then-assistant coach Rick Adelman was promoted to replace him on an interim basis. After an end-of-season comeback, Adelman was made the head coach on a full-time basis. Ironically it is not that award that Schuler is most remembered for. Schuler is most remembered for falling out of his chair at the first press conference that introduced him to be the coach of the Trail Blazers.
