    Coach: Mike Malone

    Same old crap. PA unwilling to let someone capable run the team.

    Why do you say this? I don't know anything about Olshey.

    Well, Olshey was an actor. Maybe we'll get better at flopping?

    here's an actualy reply to the OP, I'd give them an initial 7.5 out of 10 rating, very solid GM, Malone is an unknown as a head coach but is highly regarded, I like it

    I'd be satisfied with either, very pleased with both.

    If we get both, I'd grade it as an A.

    On paper I would grade that an A

    Olshey = A

    Morway = B- Only because he's not a talent guy, just a numbers guy

    Bower = C- Not a big fan

    To be honest I know nothing about these people. I had kind of hoped they might take a look at Sam Mitchell for coach (if they could get permission to speak with him). He really got a raw deal in Toronto.

    They haven't even started looking for a coach to the best of anyone's knowledge. Mitchell could be first on their list
