Will Hardy to coach Jazz: your take?

Party Hardy: Great hire. Being a Pop disciple and spending last year on the well-coached Celtics will stand him in good stead.

Between a Rock and a Hardy Place: Okay hire. Expectations may be awfully high for a guy getting his first HC gig.

Going to Learn the Hardy Way: Bad hire. Utah has a lot of tumult to deal with and a more experienced hand would have been a better pick.

Interesting pick...I imagine Ainge's connections in Boston spoke well of him.

Feel free to add your thoughts :)

I like the hire, if he's anything like Brad we are in for a good hire.

I think Johnnie Bryant will be brought on as the lead assistant

Hmm. Head coach? Probably been a while. GMs get hired sometimes without one. I don’t think Troy had one when we hired him.

I was pretty sure we would hire an African American coach. Seemed like something that would be important to Donovan.
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."
