by the time he got fired I was really glad he was fired because of his horrible rotations and lack of experience BUT reading all these comments and stories about the lack of support by the front office and the way wittman coaches makes me want to have coach casey back now. I think he'd do fine with our current squad. he'd install a nice defense to this young squad and he'd have enough time to gain enough experience for the offense.

casey will keep your team competitive. nothing more to add.

the best coah (in overall ability) the wolves ever had.

yeah, he was the scapegoat that season...and he took it like a man.

any team getting him as a coach will be very happy.

I like Casey and I think that given the time and support he will be a fine if not great coach but I'm curious as to why you think he is the best we have had.

I do wish that we kept Case over hiring Witt though. Casey is the kind of coach a rebuilding team like us should be looking at. I wonder what he could do with Brewer.

i judge coaches based on how players behave on the court, their intensity, their will to run when others will stop, their ability to take go into painfull situations and work hard.

few teams have that mentality, pop's spurs have it.

casey had that identity put into the wolves. heck, he got mccants to work hard on defense.

he was not good at in-game changes...which i attribute alot with missing experience...i remember back in the days when popovich took over...i was laughed at his poor ingame decisions....we all know how this turns out.

identity: that's key to a coach's success.
