    Does he have ties to Salem? I thought he'd retire in California.

    He would have to be senile if he lives in Salem.

    I used to work with a relative of Tex Winter, so I know he has ties to Oregon.

    I think Phil Jackson would have been an absolutely horrible choice for this team. Didn't Oshey say he wanted a coach that could teach? The guy was a master at managing large egos. But developing young talent? I just can't see it.

    Sloan on the other hand would have taught them how to play the "right way". The players would have hated his style but I can see some logic there. But not Phil.

    Not sure what Neil is looking for.

    They listed about 25 assistant coaches...

    Smoke screen?

    Jackson won't coach any team that doesn't have two super-stars.

    I agree that his use of the word "just" in the phrase "just a job offer" was quite odd. But after listening to the interview at the practice facility, my impression was that it was a job offer, and if Sloan had said yes, he would be the coach. That at least shows us Olshey is not stuck on Canales.

    That's the way I understood it too. Odd choice of words, but it sounded like the job was Sloan's if he wanted it.

    If our starting five was more 'set' I think Sloan would have taken it.

    Right now, the starting PG and C are rookies, pending roster moves.

    Last seasons GM, survey Mike Malone was the runaway winner as top assistant, how is this a close debate with Neil & Co. if they're looking at up-and-coming assistants?

    yeah, this is how I understood it as well, not an application, an offer. He was ready to go to Paul to sign off on it.

    No surprise here: Blazers have asked, and been granted permission, to interview Indiana assistant Brian Shaw for their head coach position
