I like it because when Joe gets fired Cassell can slip right in as HC.

It’s more directed at people who were posting that NO ONE will want to be an assistant here with Mazz.

As in, just Mazz on the bench himself.

Idiots.

I think he would be an easy person to slot in who has two rings, was a multiple time all star, and always played bigger in big moments that players would respect.

Rondo would think Joe is the biggest joke within minutes of being hired.

I don't know why you guys think Rondo has coaching clout. He got hired as...a student assistant, basically the team manager, by Kentucky. That doesn't suggest that the rest of the world holds his coaching abilities in very high regard.
I just don’t they’re going to hire any veteran NBA coaches that can challenge Joe.

it was said that Mighty Mouse was the one who was good at calling players on their bull -- and that it was a significant loss when he left.
Cassell should slide right into that role.

Great hire with Cassell! This is the most experienced assistant coach (in terms of NBA coaching experience, NBA playing experience, winning rings as a coach/player) we've had in a long time.

Plus, 1 of his rings came as a player for the Celtics.

Has a great reputation around the league.

Has interviewed for a few HC jobs around the league, too. So he's clearly 1 of the most highly qualified assistants in the league.

With Cassell onboard, I wonder if we would now bring on Rivers, Rondo or Posey...maybe all 3? :)
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Cassell is a great hire. Shocking that Brad would pull the trigger

Great love to see it.

Now bring in D’Antoni, Silas, and a couple younger bucks.

Looking forward to Cassell doing the weighty balls gesture on the sidelines.

Agree with Silas and a couple younger bucks. I don't have positive feelings for Pringles, but could he help unlock the Jays further?

Denver apparently has 7 team dentists. Maybe that's why they have been so successful?

Huh?

Joe gets high marks for humility and listening. I know that's seemingly contradicted by his stubbornness -- but not really.

Rather, all signs point to him simply lacking versatility in what he got his team well-coached to do. He focused his energies on how they should play when they were generally at their best (core players, ball moving on offense, not panicking at game-end, etc.), and on helping ensure that such funks as they did have didn't last very very long.

The team had a pretty good season by any standard, but we want better seasons yet going ahead. What's needed now is teaching, player development and other coaching that will make them better when things aren't going so well.

Just want to see them play faster and move the ball more.

And be better on offense lol.
