Good.
Anyone that has experience with X’s and O’s on offense instead of just rolling the ball out there is an upgrade.

If Orlando has these coaching vacancies, who did they fire?

Has quite a long wikipedia page for an assistant coach. Very experienced coach, domestic and internationally. Has been part of multiple championships teams and he used to sell beer! Dude is alright in my book.

Checks off a lot of boxes that our current staff can’t cover.

Prunty and Mosley worked together many years ago in Cleveland.

I don't think anyone got pink-slipped. Tibbetts left on his own. Osbourne might get pouched though I think.

Hope not. Osbourne is good for our defense.

Yesssssss!!! Hopefully this means way less of Jesse mermuys lol... All indicators pointing towards it. That guy just gave me such a weird vibe. Like he knew nothing about basketball and was just happy to be there.

I wonder if they'll get rid of Jesse Mermuys?
Any updates on Dale Osborne? It sounds like he and Jared Dudley we in the running for the Grizzlies lead assistant and Dudley signed with Nuggets.

I have no idea if this is accurate but that is 100% the vibe I got from him as well. Just hearing him talk after the 1st half annoyed me
