He won't hesitate to call players out, players will shut the f up and obey him, so, who knows. Doc is not a bad coach. He is not good either but he is capable enough to pave the way. If our players are so good as we think they are, they can do the rest and lead us into the Promised Land.
I prefer Atkinson, for sure. Him and Stotts are my preferred coaches.
Not Prunty, players will eat him alive. McMillan is underrated, he is a good defensive coach, i remember his work in Pacers. He did a good work in Atlanta too, not his fault that the Front office there is incompetent. D'Antoni is an offensive coach, we don't need something like that, even though he is the better than all of them overall. Plus he is old.
I will throw Itoudis name too. Not because he is Greek, for real, i don't even like the guy, he doesn't seem like a good person. But he is a very good coach, with x's and o's like Nurse, seriously, he may be more brilliant than every other one here. However, American players don't know him and i am sure they will disrespect him. And then, media gonna blame Gm Giannis again for "bringing his clueless Greek friend from the National Team". So, Itoudis as a head coach is not probably a good idea. As an assistant coach, maybe he would be good.
Or maybe we should wait for Darvin Ham or Vogel. Run it with Prunty and we'll see, either way, Atkinson/Doc/Nate would still be available until someone of them gets fired.

Few coaches have his experience there:Milwaukee has also formulated a short list of candidates that includes Jeff Van Gundy and Nate McMillan, sources say.
Rivers, though, may ultimately have the edge due to his experience coaching stars.

Does his experience blowing 3-1 series leads and having 10 game 7 losses in his tenure do anything for you?

Maybe I’m being naive but get Giannis/Dame to a 3-1 lead or a game seven and I like their chances no matter who the coach is.

In a perfect world that might be true, but the reality is there are no short term contracts for NBA coaches. 3 or 4 years is just the cost of doing business. Carlisle is a fair comparison to Doc and he's getting over $7 million per yer over 4 years. So you're talking about at least a 20-30 million dollar commitment in addition to what they still owe Bud and Griffin.
