He’s going to get the job, and they’re going to pay him big to get him away from ESPN. The extra year being promoted has helped his value tremendously.

[FeatheryTouch]

He's a bright guy and knows the league but he has zero coaching experience.

A 15 year NBA veteran role player who is quite well respected for his basketball IQ and still involved in the game. Why wouldn't he be considered? Do you say nepotism because he doesn't have much coaching experience? I mean, I probably wouldn't hire him, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't interview him. I see him as a potential upside coach vs a known quantity coach (like a Dwayne Casey).

Does he has any relative on the Hornets´FO?

[elmdawgg69]

Steve Kerr had no coaching experience.
Neither did Doc before he coached the Magics.
