    This what we need. Someone to hold these dorks accountable, especially defensively.

    It's been mentioned multiple times how well B-B-B-Billups can break something down and out-analyze everyone else in the room. Very well respected and for a while, I've believed it's his job to lose.

    Didn't all the seats in that thing fold down into one big bed? Maybe you just needed more girls to fill up the space.

    Chauncey was high on GTjr coming out of Duke. He was the only commentator back then that I recall projecting him as a solid nba player and a great second round pick up.
    Ive always felt its probably 90 percent players and 10 coaching, maybe he's got a shot as our HC?

    Message boards have always called him classy, only because his first name isn't LeRoy.

    I want a non-rookie head coach.

    This reminds me of those movie star couples, where one is trying to make contact with the other but the other is focused on the media.

    By girls, I presume you mean supermodels.

    Or are you keeping those to yourself?

    it was a 63, so yes

    This in contrast to Neil saying it's not fair for teams currently in the playoffs to ask for permission to interview candidates.

    Come on, we can't afford to lose our guy to Boston.

    This is a savvy move by Olshit. This way he can blame Stotts for winning 2 games in the playoffs and costing him the coach he “ really wanted”

    The thing that concerns me is it might not be the only job that's his to lose. I'm reading this afternoon that Stevens and the Celtics are high on him, too.

    So what team will hire the first coach?
    Saw where Stevens has already contacted teams for permission to interview and Billup's is on his list.
    Once the playoffs are over there could be a few more openings?

    Olshey said we were gonna wait till after the 1st round. It's likely they've asked already but Woj is not allowed to leak it.

    My fear in hiring 1st time coach is there’s always a learning curve. Say it’s 2-3 years you’ve now burned up the Dames last few good years.
