    When Hubie Brown leaves the Memphis Grizzlies, who would you like to replace him, and do you think the Grizzlies could succeed without a ten-man rotation?

    I believe that he should be replaced by another experienced coach. I'd hate to see another youngster like Lowe or Winters get a hold of this team. One possible coach that comes to mind is Lenny Wilkens. As for the ten man rotation, I am still undecided.

    I think Hubie should have a say on his replacement. As for a specific name, i have no idea who to throw out. I have faith in West that he'll select the right man. Honestly, I thought he was crazy in hiring Hubie in the first place but he showed me [​IMG]

    As for the 10-man rotation, it's a good system with a team of no superstars. It seems to be working great, but we'll see if it works long-term...

    I have seen Wilkens attend a few games around the NBA this year, so I think there is no doubt that he is open to a return if the situation is right.

    Lenny would be a very likely candidate, he deserves another chance. I have another name that might be JW's wish list - Mike Fratello. He's cut from the same rough, old-school cloth as Hubie. Not as big in stature, but this guy knows hoops.

He just sat back and relaxed. He has lost his mind he was a good coach but in his last year with the Raptors he was only worried about not breaking the record for the most losses as a coach in the nba. I doubt he will be back.
