Jay is the first non-American coach... He's the first Canadian coach in NBA history. This dude would be the first overseas coach in history.
Jay isn't an NBA coach. We need a proven coach for fuck sakes. I'm tired of having guys that are new.
the guy has had what four days on the job? and look at the mess he got thrown on his lap, cut him some slack.
Listen, he's been with the team for how long? He knows the system and the players. I just think, if we want to win, we need a good defensive coach and a guy who has proven himself. I'm sorry if I'm not as willing to wait out for this guy. I thought we brought in JO to win now and win now is what everyone wants. So, lets bring in a real coach who has proven himself.
I agree with shake, with all the proven coaches out there that are available why are we gonna go with Messina. I am sure hes a good coach, but hes a good coach for a league with entirely different rules. Thats like hiring a CFL coach for the NFL.
Just because Colangelo had an Italian coach in Phoenix, then an Italian assistant GM in Toronto, then an Italian coach in Toronto, and an Italian #1 draft pick, and rumoured interest in Belinelli and Gallinari, doesn't... wait, what was I trying to say? Messina is very likely to be on our radar this summer if we haven't made a hire by then.
