I would say Mark Jackson. The only Asst that have been linked to being ready to take a HC spot is Thibo, Curry and Corbin. Thibo and Curry won't be options based on Thibo being Phx first choice and Dumars not granting permission for Curry.
We're in a position that the new HC won't have a lot of expereince. Corbin only been a Asst for a couple of yrs.
It's going to be a very scary summer, the only hope was Doug Collins saying yes to Phx, which he obviously said no.

Once again I am going to bring up his name because folks here don't seem to take him seriously. If you're willing to try a different approach instead of tired retreads, Michael Cooper is a guy I think should at least be considered. I mean really, other than LB and Curry(no HC experience on any level), no one recently mentioned knows what it's like to win a championship.
Cooper, once again, has won 5 as a player, 2 coaching in the WNBA(plus another finals appearance), and 1 coaching in the NBDL. That's 4 trips to the finals and 3 championships in 9 years as a head coach. I don't care what level you're talking about, that's pretty impressive. And every team he's coach(except for that ridiculous
1 month stint waiting for Karl to sign in Denver) has made the playoffs every year.
Phil Jackson, before he was hired by the Bulls, had only coached in the CBA and in Puerto Rico. The important thing is, he won(just like Cooper). I'm not saying that Cooper will be anything like Jackson, but he's at least earned a look. Of coarse, it is possible that Buss and the Lakers have him pegged as Jackson's replacement(they are getting him alot of HC experience while on the franchise payroll). Even so, I would think Cooper would jump at the chance to coach on the NBA level now as opposed to waiting a few years for Jackson to step down.

The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.

Well the Pistons have denied teams permission to talk to him so far, so it's doubtful they'd allow it now.Michael Curry from the Pistons.
What I'm more disappointed about is the fact that Dwane Casey is also off the market. God this has been demoralizing as a fan, hate to imagine what the players feel like.

They have a really good understanding; that's a neat idea.

They already did that with the lifesize Jim Boylan cutout....

Maybe Gaius Baltar is the answer.
