Well, there goes the plan of having Thibo and D'Antoni at assistants, and Red Auerbach as head coach.

Although news that Collins isn't head coach is good news I guess.

He's got to be like 90 tho, and he's certainly not a defensive minded coach like you'd expect Pax to be looking at. How about Paul Westphal? Head coaching experience, white PG (looks like Pax), serious playoff experience as a great player and as coach, and he (like Skiles) would come to us from Phoenix.

btw, Cartwright is probably on his way back. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>According to sources, Bill Cartwright recently contacted general manager John Paxson to discuss returning as an assistant to the team he played on and coached before Paxson fired him in November 2003. The former teammates hadn't spoken much, if at all, since Cartwright's firing. But a source said Paxson sounded receptive to the idea. Coincidentally, Cartwright rebuffed Paxson's suggestion to hire Collins as an assistant shortly after Paxson took over for Jerry Krause in April 2003. It's unknown how Collins would react to hiring Cartwright, who has been working as an assistant under Lawrence Frank in New Jersey. Cartwright hasn't ruled out a return to the Nets.</div>

However, I've stated many times my choice would be Kareem.

It's not like he ever slept with a football player's girlfriend.
Flip Saunders is the mystery coach if anyone still cares. Bulls are sending overtures to try to get to interview him.
