Not a fan. As if the Magic needed more unimaginative offensive minds on the bench.

I don't think it matters... Vogel isn't going to allow an assistant to dictate how to run his "no plays" offense.

Yikes! Wittman comes into organizations and worms his way into power after the people who hired him get fired. Beware!

He can help with D schemes.
His Offense is outdated.

If Vogel needs help with defense then he should be fired.

Don't really need an offensive game plan when you have long twos.

We need experienced personal regardless of reputation. It's been 5 yrs of bad style playing and last year Vogel didn't light the league on fire with his "defensive schemes" and probably was hired due to his defensive reputation (which is vastly over.-rated IMHO, but that's a whole other story). We were in the leagues bottom five in almost every defensive metric last season, if Whittman can help with that GREAT.

With David Adelman leaving, I can't make monster truck jokes anymore.

I know the right players are as important as the coaches but Randy definatelly will help at D.
He can keep in line "stars" and veterans and demand hard work at court and in practice.
I thought Vogel and Brooks are defencive coaches but after last season I think they both are way overrated.

My only question here is.............. was Frank being pushed to hire a guy like Whittman, or did he come up with his eventual replacement on his own? Just saying!!

A GM does not hire a video review guy to replace a head coach. It is usually the lead assistant that takes over in an interim basis. I would guess Corliss Williamson would get the nod over Chad Forcier.
