Fire Vinny Del Fail Thread

[adiedanny]

There's something about Stan Van Gundy that really irks me. I feel like he wouldn't command that much respect. Even though this isn't a routy bunch, I still want THAT coach, that digs into players ass when he needs to.

what up LOJ

if respect was the main factor here, i can't say i disagree with the other guy who said jerry sloan. repect=sloan all the way. hope ewing would take the chief assistant job and be the next HC upon sloan's inevitable near re-retirement.

Neddy wtf bro, you disappear for the entirety of the playoffs!!! I thought you died or something

With Sloan expressing interest in coaching the two teams (Magic and Bobcats) with a vacancy if they are interested in him, I think that is a word to the front office to move fast, make a vacancy available and contact him.

Am I the only one annoyed that there haven't been "Clippers contacting Sloan" rumors?

If we are the only ones in the room yes! lol jk but i really really dont want Sloan. I really like the Malone mention. Sounds like he may be obtainable and i hope pack remains as an assistant. I think he has helped Bledsoe a lot. They have a very similar game. Pack was one of my fav point guards along with M Jackson and KJ. I always had the Kj gels

Introducing Mike Malone

Malone was born in 1971, the son of former NBA coach BrendanMalone. When Brendan became the University of Rhode Island's head basketball coach in 1985, his family moved to Warwick, RI. Malone attended Bishop Hendricken High School, where he played on the basketball team. But just two years later, Brendan Malone landed his first NBA coaching position- an assistant job with the New York Knicks.

He eventually caught on at his father's old school, Providence, in 1995 under Pete Gillen. When Gillen left for the University of Virginia in 1998, Malone followed him there. He then coached at Manhattan College under Bobby Gonzalez for two seasons. In 2001, another of Gillen's former assistants at Providence, Jeff Van Gundy, gave Malone his big break, hiring him on his New York Knicks staff.

Malone stayed with the Knicks after Van Gundy left. Given the fact that Malone eventually forged a reputation as a defensive coach, it may be instructive to point out that New York's lead defensive coach during Malone's time there was one Tom Thibodeau.

Malone served as the Cavs' defensive coordinator in his time there. In 2008-2009, his first season as the lead defensive coach, Cleveland finished with the league's second best defense. In 2009-2010, the Cavs decided to move Malone over to being the lead offensive coach. Said LeBron James this year: "Mike is Mike – he’s going to be great no matter what circumstances you put him in. One, he has a strong voice – he can command guys to listen to him and command guys to do what needs to be done. He’s very smart; he knows the game of basketball. So, he’s going to be good not matter what – offense, defense, whatever."
