    the truth is that neil olshey had chauncey as his first choice from the beginning (a lot of reports were saying the same), but he wanted to talk to other candidates in case something goes wrong

    they were like insurance

    You don't know that it was already decided. If it were, they could have announced weeks ago. Why on earth would these important busy people waste all this time other than to follow good business practice and do their due diligence.

    Every rock doesn't have a conspiracy or an evil plot under it. Trust me.

    That's on par with any other interview process. Indiana otoh made a big deal about three candidates but then hired a different guy off a single phone call.

    Dallas hired a guy without a single interview of him or anyone else.

    Maybe they appreciated the opportunity to "knock their socks off" in the interview. Give them a reason to change their mind. Maybe be the 2nd choice in case Billups changes his mind. Gain experience for the next time they interview.

    I think they will be ok with wasting their time

    It's always a good thing to get interview experience. The process alone had to be extremely valuable to Becky and her career.

    Literally no one is talking about Billups on twitter or otherwise. Friday night news drop right before the game starts. Masterful move if they dont want the blowback

    Dallas makes sense, Kidd will fit in with their “culture”.

    If true, I am disappointed.
    Kind of like when Warren left presidential race, I figured Biden would sure be an improvement but definitely not my first choice.

    I truly hope we don't see a situation where Hammon gets interviews but teams are too chicken to make the step and hire her.

    He does? How do we know?

    I watched all those Billups breaking down game film vids. Pretty basic stuff really. We know nothing about his vision as coach
