    Kim Hughes had good experience and good results in his past. It also looks like he did a great job turning Meyers Leonard into an NBA player. With his firing (let's not discuss the why here), WHO ARE THE BEST CANDIDATES TO REPLACE HIM??

    If I were king, I'd hire Bill Laimbeer to coach our guys; long-bombing red-ass is exactly what I want out of Leonard.

    Denny and I were discussing this the other day in another thread. Laimbeer was my first pick. He also brought up Kareem and Cartwright.

    I wonder if Pryzbilla and/or Laimbeer would be interested.

    I picked Laimbeer as my first choice in other threads and I'm going to say I think Sheed is another guy worth looking into. Hakeem is working for Houston I believe. Cartwright, Kareem, Ewing...there are a lot of big man coaches out there

    I'd consider moving Kaman into that role as well

    6'7", 225 lbs. Played college ball at William & Mary, then spent 10 years in Spain at Gran Canaria (isn't that where Joel Freeland played?). Worked for the Maine Red Claws (isn't that where Tim Frazier played?) before coming to the Blazers.

    6 foot 7 seems a little small for a big man coach. Of course size doesn't matter as much as skills in teaching but most of the guys doing this are former Centers.
