    That's hilarious. The guy went from the glorified ballboy to the head coach in just nineish years.

    I wanted Caleb... Good move. Not the answer, but much better than Bickerstaff

    I thought Kaleb did a nice job with the Summer league guys a couple of years ago: Got them to play hard and they actually ran a real offense.

    I have no problem with it. I'd like to see what the kid has.

    Awesome! Now we are being run by a shoe salesman, and coached by a video guy! = )

    Nate's coaching staff must be going with him right? I wonder if Bickerstaff will resign? Kaleb should just tell the guys to go out there and do whatever the hell they want. That way, we'll get a real feeling over how much of the problem was Nate, and how much was the players.

    I thought this was gonna be a joke post; but actually I'm glad it's not any of those old guys; I got tired of seeing the bunch of em sitting there on the bench.

    I think they wanted to make sure they weren't gonna have anyone out there who was going to try to win every game no matter what the cost to player development.

    From video guy to interim coach. Shades of Spoelstra! As long as they don't promote HCP, I think we're safe. :)

    Our transformation into a middling D-League team is now complete. Part of our uniforms should be big red noses and clown makeup.

    I hope they do it the same way they did when KP let the boys out to play.

    Kaleb. You're job is to develop and evaluate players. And don't screw up our lottery position!

    This is true. Nate would want to win at all cost. And right now they need to play the young guys and lose.

    Yes. The makeup of this roster was not close to contending.

    Cleaning house is the only option.

    This is the definition of cleaning house. Now if we could only get a new GM and fire Larry.
