    Pay raise.

    That's it. Not a lot of difference between head assistant coach and associate head coach. Watson will still be making the calls.

    Jay must be close to retirement, that's why people move to Phoenix after all

    He's slept his way to the highest position that face could take anyone.

    Associate head coach is like Vice President. Assistant coaches are like the members of the president's cabinet.

    I'd be thrilled if we wanted Silas as a top assistant coach!

    Is he known as a defensive or offensive specialist?

    Silas got a lot of credit around the league for his player development (multiple stops), particularly guards like Kemba and Steph.

    So what's new with Vanterpool. Would we lose him if we didn't give him the top assistant job? He was up for the Orlando job but didn't get it. Is he interviewing anywhere else?

    If we lose Tibbetts and Triano, I would hope they hire someone like Silas AND give Vanterpool a raise.

    Pretty sure Vanterpool is already our lead assistant. So if we hire a new lead assistant then I think he would of course think about leaving rather then taking a step down. But that would mean him getting a lead job somewhere else. So who knows...
