Randy Whitman bad head coach very good as a defensive assistant.

I think if we hire a defensive guru we need to be sure that they run a similar concept to what worked for us last year.

Established dudes are likely to want to change to whatever is "their thing" which may be a step back.

That may not be such a bad idea, but I would dig deep into his recent coaching stints, there are some red flags

Well he nicknamed one of his players after a dinosaur I never heard of, maybe the Raptors are a good fit?

At first the headline is a little off-putting. You assume that the writer is embellishing for clicks, but it turns out that he is the same old unabashed a**hole.

Yep. Our defensive schemes do not need to change.
Offense on the other hand could use some adjustments to get JV involved more.

Guys under contract don't generally jump laterally unless a head coach that they prefer to work with ( and have significant history with) wants to bring them in. Greer - long history with Thibs, and probably only came to us as Thibs spent last year on a forced sabbatical.

We wouldn't be offering a promotion, and he has no history with Casey, so it seems unlikely. The only exception is probably if its painfully obvious Gentry is about to get fired - which I don't think is the case.

Here's a NBA GM survey on top ranked assistant coaches:

Did anyone realize that the Bulls and the Cavs both have assistants named Jim Boylen ( Cavs) / Jim Boylan ( Bulls) ?
Weird I thought that was the same guy....

O'Neil's whole existence is a red flag.

Aren't casey and kalamian defensive guys? Our offense was pathetic in the playoffs maybe we should do something about that

alienchild · Post #36 » by **alienchild** » Thu Jul 21, 2016 4:15 pm

Surprised we haven't heard anything about this.

Probably a promotion from within.. Jama (meh) or Stack (gross) then, Magloire in Stack's role (gross).. Idk, who's gonna coach the 905.

I really don't think his schemes were that good. We just played at a snail's pace so scores were low. Granted, he had to work around Jalen and Donyell, but I always found KO's defense over-rated.
