    Dwight does bring up a valid point: Malone has never been a head coach on any level.

    But he does have 11-years experience as an NBA assistant. There's a reason why every new coach last summer, especially the Lakers, wanted Malone added to their staff. From every interview I've read/articles he's a defensive guru in the mold of Thibs and GS knew that -- which is why they made him the highest paid assistant coach in the game.

    Brendan Malone was in over his head when he finally got a HC job, though, and was passed over when he took over the Cavs in 04-05 for a small stint.

    Then hire a woman! Pat Summitt was sadly forced into retirement but there are others.
    I always wanted Summitt - I could just see her turning that glare on Rasheed Wallace and him meekly saying "yes, ma'am".

    How can a woman teach her team to drive towards the basket when no woman can drive at all? It would be like hiring an Asian coach

    What are we gonna wait until Malone, Shaw and the other top coaching candidates are picked up by other teams until we finally make our push for a coach?

    Get on the ball!!! FUCK!

    Nothing like waiting too long and getting a picked over crop of coaching candidates.

    The one saving grace this year is that there hasn't been huge turn over in the head coaching ranks. It's really been Us, Charlotte and Orlando now.....right? Woodson is going to be the Knicks guy I am pretty sure

    I guess you're right. The big coaching exodus was last year.

    It's no excuse for not pouncing on one of the best assistants in the game though.....Especially if he has interest in this job

    I guess that is what they teach in business school now - ignore results and focus on process.

    Just shoot me.

    Avery Johnson has a successful coach's voice: shrill and loud.

    And yes, we need a white coach. They're the ones who win championships.

    Dude, anyone throw a towel at Summitt would be immediately reduced to a smear of ash.

    I mentioned on the old forum that Pat Summitt would be a great coach for the Jail Blazers. Not with this group though
