That's where I am right now. I keep going back and forth on Brown and Jenkins. I don't love either of them but it seems like they are the top 2 candidates. But I'm also not feeling Nori or Borrego at all. Maybe they are good coaches and I just don't know enough about them but Nori's joking kind of turns me off tbr and Borrego has coached 5 years and never made the playoffs.

I agree I still think they are looking at associate HC candidates.

Like Brown and a strong associate Head Coach could be the upgrade Dolan wanted. Jenkins is good too, but Brown has the reputation/experience that the media wouldnt slaughter the FO for hiring.

I'm really curious to know what happened between Johnnie Bryant and the front office for him to be seemingly ignored here.

Need us to hire somebody solely for the purpose of this garbage “reaching out” nonsense. If you think we’d actually hire that coach as the head coach of a professional contending nba team, you’re a moron. Issue is, it’s us and it’s funny to think about, so people will run with it

He went where he would have more security with Donovan Mitchell being on a long-term contract.

It’s just due diligence guys. That’s why we’re reaching out to the South Carolinas women’s basketball coach. Not cuz the front office throwing things against the wall cuz they were forced to fire their coach cuz of ownership meddling.
