I suppose he reports directly to Rob Moor since he's CEO. Maybe he reports to Chris Wright? IDK, Wright and Flip were equals before.

Wright and Moor deal more with the business side of the team, I believe. I'd say POBO reports directly to Taylor, as do Moor and Wright.

"I feel real good about the progression of this team since Day 1 and I think it needs to be said and needs to be understood that I'm endorsing Sam Mitchell and our coaching staff and this organization," he said. "More importantly, I'm excited about our future. I'm excited about our young players. I feel like we're getting better. These last 10, 15 games, we've gotten better. You see it and I think that needs to be said. I think you all need to understand we're supportive around here."

"Just because I haven't done a lot of interviews and voiced my opinion on a lot of things," he told three of us media members gathered, "I want you guys to understand that not only do I endorse Sam Mitchell, but the other players do, too. We believe not only in him, but the system and what we're trying to do here. I think everybody needs to understand that. The transformation and what we're trying to do here is build something for the future and these are the first steps of that. I don't really come to you guys a lot and say two weeks, but I just want you guys to know that needs to be heard and said."

"Since Day 1 you see the progression how guys are getting the schemes, their IQ levels, the rhythm," he said. "It's not just offense and putting the ball in the basket, but how guys communicate with each other, the chemistry throughout the guys. When you're watching your team progress, those are the things you're looking for. Our assists have gone from single-digit some halves and some nights over over 30 and over 20. And that means ball movement. That means players are understanding not only the system that's in place, but ball movement and sharing the ball.

"We're communicating with each other on and off the court. We've been doing a lot of hanging. We did movies one day, we did turkey burgers another day. Those are the things that build character and chemistry throughout the team and those are the things of which I speak."

I just hope this words of KG are not some endorsement for Sam to continue as coach next year.

If you think KG was going to come out and bury a guy who he credits a lot of success to, you don't really know KG and his undying loyalty to people

Nothing is worse then Kurt Rambis. Wasn't it like Perkins who hit Beasley with a huge cheapshot and Rambis ripped on his guys for it? It was something along those lines
