Kevin Mchale

[foyemyboy]

Just wondering what you guys thought of Mchales future with the Timberwolves. I personally think he should definatly be retained as head coach for the long term, and I also think he should keep at least some responsability in the personnel department. He has built this team. He was the one that knew Al was a double-double future superstar waiting to happen. The Foye/Roy trade isnt as bad as it seems. Foye has had injuriy worries and having randy wittman stunt his development by playing him at point gaurd. Roy is the go-to-guy of the portland team, where as Foye isnt the wolves number one weapon, its Al. Without Jefferson against the raptors, Foye scored 33 and looked very good. The players play for Mchale because they know he has confidence in their abilities because he picked them.

Look I love Foye more than most people on this forum do, but there isnt a debate. Roy wins. Maybe at the beginning of their careers it could have shaped them differently, and maybe in the future Foye can step his game up to at least be half of what Roy is, but we lost. Moving on, I dont want McHale here very long. He isnt going to take us to the top. He is going to help us develop the young guns for sure but after that i dont trust him at all. And he def gets no say in the FO, at least not the final say.

He has a good BBQ.

I really like this guy as a coach for our current team for some valuable reason (motivating, letting them play through mistakes) but by the time we are able to contend (hopefully sooner than later) I'd say we need a good X and O guy with enough coaching experience. I'm not so sure if McHale can handle the coaching job longterm either...

Anyone that gets fierd for Michael Curry should never be mentioned!

Foye doesnt get the points like Roy, but the offence runs around Roy. If our offence ran around Foye you never know how he would respond. He looked pretty good against Toronto. You cant judge it fairly in 2 and a half years of play (only 2 for Foye) foye was a late bloomer in college and it may be the same in the NBA.

P.S Roy is the fugliest person ive ever seen, I dont want to look at that every night.

I hear the traveling is just murder on McHale's back, and he'll step down as coach this summer.

My guess is that he will stay on with the wolves as a "special consultant" that allows him to stay home, and work with the young bigs when they are in town. However, if we bring in a big time coach, he may ask that McHale leave because he holds so much influence with the players and management, and I think that's a request McHale would comply with.

I expect that he'll step down this summer and become a consultant/ big man coach, as well.

Here's hoping that the Wolve's use the Celtics connection again and steal away Tom Thibodeau.
