    That is a great question, honestly I don't know. I think whomever it is needs to be a better x's and o's coach than Nate. I think Nate has taken this team as far as he can, very similiar to where he got Seattle but I would like to see a very experienced head coach that knows how to adjust the team according to the game. No matter the talent we are very one dimensional, that needs to change and we need better flow

    Who hijacked this tennis thread? We were talking tennis and then HCP comes along and changes the subject.

    I love Monty, but he's the enemy now. I don't think we give him anyone, unless we can replace that person with an upgrade.

    Late to the party, but Welcome LakeBlazer! I'm sure you'll find that many people around here are happy to welcome new members.

    Since Prunty's generally behind the scenes, what exactly is his function on the staff? It seems that his background is very similar to Kaleb's (plus about 10 years). Is he a hands-on coach like Lucas or Bayno, or able to help Nate with X&O stuff?

    Denny says my pay depends on being nice to the rookies.

    So we're left with Dean (hands-on), Prunty (hands-on), Bayno (who I guess has coaching chops), Kaleb and ??. Not a lot of help for Nate, either in-game or in planning.

    So the Hornets hired Nate? That is a Nate quote the whole way, so is the empty promise of running.

    The Nate quote was "we want to be uptempo while minimizing turnovers". :)

    Agreed. I posted that very thought in another thread or another forum--I can't remember which. NOH badly needs bench scoring and some athleticism to take advantage of Paul's ability to run the fast break.

    Good luck, Monty. I think he's going to be one hell of a coach. NO made a great choice.
