    Perhaps because none of us really knows anything.

    From Jody’s Wikipedia page

    In 2013, her former security guards accused her of sexual harassment and of smuggling giraffe bones out of Botswana after she went on a safari with her brother.


    So Billups past shouldn’t be an issue

    I was suspicious about the logic behind her reasoning, since we haven't ever heard directly from Jody Allen that she wanted Becky, it was just reported (makes for a good headline).

    And then when I clicked on the link...

    YOU SUMMABISH!

    So Becky met yesterday. MDA and Billups have yet to meet.

    How can someone be a frontrunner if they all haven't actually completed the interview process?

    Exactly what I was thinking.
    I suppose, if anyone, Hammon could be a heavy front runner if she absolutely crushed the interview yesterday.

    I honestly don’t know how you can hire MDA without an ELITE defensive coach as a requirement for him.

    do not care what he says in his interview about what he has learned about defense blah blah blah.

    Woj is prolly getting messages from multiple sources: Olshey, coaches' agents, front office/ownership, etc. Hence the mixed messages.

    We don't need another iso type of coach with our guards we need will establish offense that's everyone is in the offense not just guards.

    His offensive style after they went small ball was attrocious but before that the Rockets played good offensive basketball utilizing a lot of pick and rolls. He also played great offensive basketball with Phoenix.

    Now after what Olshey said in his press conference if he hires D'Antoni to fix the issues he raised then he is a complete idiot.

    I figured there'd be a lot more more overlap between candidates for each job. (gathered with just a cursory google/twitter search on candidates being interviewed, not definitive obviously)

    Portland:
    - Hammon
    - D'Antoni
    - Billups

    Boston:
    - Billups
    - Udoka
    - Ham

    Indiana:
    - Stotts
    - Clifford
    - Shaw

    New Orleans:
    - Vaughn
    - Kidd
    - Udoka
    - Weatherspoon
    - Lee

    Orlando:
    - Green
    - Udoka
    - Lee
    - Hammon

    Washington:
    ? don't think they've even started

    Dallas:
    ? no word whatsoever

    To summarize:
    Udoka: Boston, New Orleans, Orlando
    Billups: Portland, Boston
    Hammon: Portland, Orlando
    Lee: New Orleans, Orlando
    MDA: Portland
    Kidd: New Orleans
    Vaughn: New Orleans
    Stotts: Indiana
    Clifford: Indiana
    Shaw: Indiana
    Ham: Boston
    Green: Orlando
    Weatherspoon: New Orleans
