Hey I'm not pro Fassel either. I'm on the fence with him. I just found it curious that people are so against him, yet are so in favor of Mooch when there isn't really a huge difference between the two.

Going by the feedback here, it looks like it's because he was a rival coach, and second because Mooch is just a more personable guy that people can relate to.
