Assistant Coach candidates

Stoked for Damon, he has a great relationship with Udoka and has a had a decent amount of experience with the Grizzlies, Memphis Tigers, Wildcats and since '16 with the Pacific Tigers.

The players seem to really like him and regardless of some personal opinions of people here, he is turning into be a really good coach

 

If you read the tweet from Powell he is saying his friend needs a HEAD coaching gig also he is the lead assistant under nurse so i doubt he coming to Portland.

 

And just like that shams drops 3 names lol

Lionel Hollins
Scotty brooks
Vinny del negro

for lead assistant role

 

Dame with Scott Brooks

 

Finally some juice.

 

I wouldnt be upset with hollins or brooks.

hollins is the grit and grind father isn’t he?

 

What’s stopping them from hiring all 3? Brooks would be a good get as an assistant. I like Hollins too. VDN got kinda shafted with the clippers but he also hasn’t coached in years.

 

Earl Watson would be someone to consider. He's great with players.

 

I thought they wanted someone with a defensive acumen?

 

So Joerger turned them down or something? No thx on VDN, I’d take Hollins out of those 3.

 

Hollins would be ideal. Wouldn’t be disappointed with the other 2 though. Anybody but Fizdale

 

lionel hollins?

 

Was Brown not the lead assistant?

Then we need to make him our lead assistant.

 

he’s associate head coach.

 

I wonder if the leaking of those three names means Mosley is getting a head job somewhere else. I can’t see him not being a legitimate option if he doesn’t.

Also gut feeling but I bet Hollins has already agreed to be on billups staff. Following Dame and the Blazers on social media doesn’t seem coincidental anymore.

 

lionel hollins using social media like that?

 

they have historically cheaped out on the assistants apparently.

ya i called hollins a week ago after some twitter stalking. think it's a done deal

 

Or not thinking about social media enough to try and hide what he's about to do. The guy seriously may have had a conversation with Chauncey and Neil and knew he was coming here in some capacity so he just hit follow... not a big deal to a 67 year old and definitely not him "using social media" in some sly way.
