Raptors coaching search - Part 2

[WaltFrazier]

Kenny Atkinson turned down HC job in Charlotte last year. Steve Kerr mentioned why:

“We’re in a great place. We’ve got great players. We live in a beautiful part of the country. Kenny’s got two kids, teenagers, who really wanted to stay,” Kerr said. “It’s a really difficult thing to try to take a job in the middle of the Finals without really getting a chance to unwind. I think over the course of the Finals he just felt like this is not the best time for my family and me to leave.”

Kenny in the recent interview again mentioned The Bay area and prep school for his kids. I think he loves it there and doesn't want the stress of change. I am thinking that is the slowness with him.

Interesting to see a guy choose family and lifestyle over ambition. But assistant coach in the NBA is still a good gig.

[right between the eyes]

At this point who cares who they pick?

Masai has managed to completely suck the fun out of this process. To take 2 months is ridiculous.

hubie brown was damn near 90 when he coached memphis. a coach's age means nothing you fools.

He's 89 now, coached Memphis almost 20 years ago. And stepped down in early season 2004 due to heart issues, age 69

Can't pick a coach because management is confused about direction. 41 wins season coming back for over paid middle stars.

It really sounds like they're just waiting for Sergio's season to end so that he's not faced with a massive media storm while coaching his team in the Finals.

A year later and he's throwing his name at every open coaching position, so I think that's just Steve Kerr spinning as always. Charlotte cheaped out on his assistants and he started to realize that franchise is a mess.

lol, why is it important that the selection of a head coach is 'fun' for fans?

[tripa]

Why are they using Skype? Thats the more important question.

[Duffman100]

Why are they using Skype? Thats the more important question.

probably have hotmail email addresses too.

[DonDoolie]

at this rate we will make contact with aliens before getting a new coach.

Why should the interview process to hire a coach be fun for fans?

Duff beat me to it. Ya'll are just bored and starving for some news. Enjoy the weather, be productive and we'll eventually have a coach.

What an awful trade idea.

Yeah because a team is giving up a top 3 pick for OG

A top 3 pick wasn't said by me but a team was willing to give a top 7 pick just last year and there are still teams in the top 5-10 that will gladly take him now which is MUCH better than that heaping pile of dog turd of role players and meaningless picks you're suggesting which is FAR more laughable

Hold this L.

The Grizzlies are on the brinks of a collapse with their best player facing a long term suspension. Jones is the best back up guard in the league and would amount to a better floor general than FVV.

You don't need to hold the L, you are the L.

I havent closed my windows in about a week now and it feels great. Air conditioning is for heathens.

Might take the porsche out for a spin and grab an overpriced plate of oxtail and eat it on lakeshore.
