    It didn't cross your mind that Thibs firing might be being discuss in the Around-The-NBA thread?

    And you couldn't take 5 seconds to check...?

    Sigh.

    Nobody will ever confuse Beasley with a Mensa member.

    I see Woj says that Monty is on the list of guys that Minnesota may go after. I'd love to see him get a head coaching gig. I really loved that guy. I'm not sure how great of a coach he is, but he seems like such a good dude.

    and breaking Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah while doing so...he rode his starters even more than Nate McMillan used to.

    Monty was the head coach of the Pelicans for 5 seasons or does that not count?

    I think Becky Hammon might have a shot at the Wolves gig but I'd hire Billups if I were them.

    Not what happened. He got fired and went to OKC as an assistant and that is where his wife was in the car accident.

    You should be ashamed of yourself for this post. His wife died and he left the game of basketball for awhile. They had 5 kids, 3 of which were injured in the car accident and he wanted to be there for them.
