RIGHT!! Del Negro apparently has no coaching experience of any kind - not even as an assistant. Person has no head coaching experience but has been an assistant for a few years. Casey has the most experience of these 3.
I am still on Thibo bandwagon - and would be OK with a Casey choice. No way do I want the other two (except as assistant coaches)
+1.
Here is how I think Del Negro got in:
Paxson: "Hello Vinny. I see you have no coaching experience. Could you tell me about yourself and how you would coach?"
Del Negro: "Let's just cut to the chase. Do you really care? Here is the deal: I will work for real, real cheap. 1 year $20,000. I don't even need health insurance."
Paxson: "Congratulations. You are a finalists."
Del Negro: "Any other questions?"
Paxson: "No, that does it. Everything else is secondary."
