    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sports Illustrated - Former Orlando Magic head coach Johnny Davis was hired Saturday as an assistant coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves under new coach Dwane Casey.

    Davis, who has spent 28 years in the NBA as a player, coach and front office executive, was fired by the Magic last March. Davis, who was also the head coach for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1996-97 season, went 51-84 with the Magic after taking over for Doc Rivers in November 2003.

    Davis spent 10 seasons as a player in the NBA with four different teams and then was an assistant for 12 seasons for five different teams.</div>

    I can't believe we hired Johnny Davis, he was a horrible head coach for Orlando, I can't tell much about his assistant coach abilities and maybe he's not as bad of an assistant as a head coach, if that makes sense.

    Some guys are good as assistants and not as the reign holder.
