"I've made it a practice to never prejudge a coach. Too many "obscure" hires have gone on to be great successes. Too many "name" hires have gone on to fall on their face. Some people thought the Falcons were visionaries for hiring Bobby Petrino and Georgia was desperate for hiring Mark Fox. Oops. So it follows that it would be silly to prejudge the Hawks' next coach. However - you knew this was coming, didn't you? - it occurred to me that given the likely parameters of general manager Rick Sund's coaching search, a top candidate might be right under their noses: Hawks assistant coach Larry Drew." http://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-b...coaching-job/?cxntfid=blogs_jeff_schultz_blog
