I get the worry that Kohl is going to go after a big name or two and then, when the big name(s) inevitably turns him down, he'll settle on a guy that he knows and 'trusts'. "Not much I can do, I tried, but when nothing eventuated I had to go for someone with less experience". Same as when Porter was fired.
Big names don't want to be here, the Bucks are nothing more than a chance to up their price elsewhere...or just an ego boost.
For what it's worth, I was at the Cavs game last night and got an opportunity to talk to someone quite close to Kohl. He told me that Kohl is dead set on going outside the organization and bringing in a "big name" that will win back some fans. It's all about the product.
As for how he's going to shanghai someone "big" to come here, however, well that is the problem. Saying Babcock may get to handle the draft is a way to forestall criticism and an admission of sorts that getting a "big name" to come to Milwaukee will be difficult and may drag on awhile.
