Lets say Larry Brown gets fired, who should be the new coach

[Battery]

I'd fire Higgins first, hire a new gm and let him decide on the coach. We need new talent evaluators more than anything.

Lets not forget Higgins had a hard-on for Jose Caleron

Not happening with MJ running the show. He and Higgins are boys, and he brought Higgins in.

Mike Di'antoni's brother. Marc Jackson might do a really good job. Patrick Ewing. The dude who left NJ? Isn't Byron Scott coaching the Cavs? lol

[penquin11]

Why would we pick up a guy who coached NJ into the ground? Marc Jackson has too little experiene....

I would like us to go after someone younger..

No more of Jordan's buddies and i'll give anyone a solid chance.

JVG maybe?
M Jackson could be worth a shot
Coach K?? classic.

[ohara]

Mark Jackson.

how many current coaches in the NBA could take a 2009-10 playoff team, try to quit in the offseason, start off the new season 9-18, have 3 of their last 4 games ending in 30 point blowouts, with rumors of losing the team and locker room arguing..... and still have a job tomorrow?

1. phil jackson
2. jerry sloan
3. gregg popovich
4. larry brown???

its a good thing he is a hall of fame coach, because his legacy is the only thing that is keeping him from getting fired.

[nugentrk]

This is just crazy talk. "Next town" will not be fired. MJ will not pay "next town" his $6 million and then also pay our new coach $2 or $3 million.

I want Sam Mitchell, next season.




anyone remember this article

MJ, Bobcats fall for Brown’s tired act
At this point, watching a Larry Brown introductory news conference is like catching the last days of Sinatra in Vegas.

There’s really nothing left to see; nothing but an old legend hanging on, so desperate for the lifestyle and applause that he’ll play the songs he knows he can’t deliver, all for a fawning audience so desperate and delusional it willingly will suspend belief...

LB’s first day always is the one for smiles and lies.

Let’s just pretend he needed some arm-twisting, for old times’ sake. As long as we get to the part where Larry is hailed as a great “teacher” for “the kids”?

“I think his teaching skills are going to be the biggest asset these young kids have,” Jordan said.

Not that Brown has done anything with a young group since the Clippers, which was, what, five teams ago? Or that he generally despises rookies.

The team should find someone who actually gets into the mysterious brain of Diaw, and pushes him to be aggressive. With an aggressive Diaw, it creates so many mismatches for the other team, the cats play a totally different game. Good luck with that....

there was a blurb on realgm headlines earlier about nate mcmillan. anyone have thoughts on him? personally, i would rather not have him as a coach. he plays at a pace about as slow as larry. i cant take anymore slow paced basketball, at least not for a few years.

[BigSlam]

TBH I'm looking at it as Silas' job and it being his to lose so I'm not really thinking of any other options at this stage until we see what we have in him.

That said, Nate doesn't excite me that much. I'd rather Sam Mitchell.

MJ was an okay coach in Space Jam. He won 100% of the games.
