    not this year. Even Nurk said it himself. I think he’d know.

    I wonder if Nate McMillan could be nabbed away from Atlanta after the season ends. I think he’s still just the interim coach there.

    Much as I like Jay Wright, when the last time a college coach actually had success in the nba?

    I’m warming up to the idea of a totally fresh and new coach - could be a recently retired guy. Someone who gets the current state of the NBA. If Shane Battier wants to coach, or a guy like Chauncey Billups. Kind of over the veteran guys.

    retired, while you work!
    Juwan Howard and Ime Udoku...heroes who each saved a season for us. Same for Viktor Khryapa. They filled gaping holes in our roster which saved us from falling to the bottom of the league.

    At the end of their heroic seasons, we dumped them like garbage. We owed each another season. I complained and everyone said, huh?

    This may have been on the ESPN board before I came here. I didn't look up the years.

    Seems to me the Spurs are the organization Olshey has tried most to model, so Udoka or Hammon seem like fits, although I just don't know how a team would respond to a woman head coach. If any team/city can do it, it's Portland though.

    P.S. Mark Jackson is The. Worst.

    dame, Nurk, and CJ have all praised Hammon in the past, so I think she’d be a perfect fit.

    This isn't really my kind of topic or thread but i do think there is a likely candidate.

    I just cannot see anyone other than Becky Hammon replacing Stotts. Just seems like the perfect match and choice for the Blazers at this point.
