Many people on JazzFanz last year saw how great a fit Hornacek would have been as the HC to take over Ty. So why did someone with a great basketball mind and as calculating as Dennis Lindsey is, have missed out on Hornacek's talent?
Do you know what I think? I think it's because Lindsey (coming from the Spurs background) already had an eye on Messina, and somehow had his heart set on Messina the moment he became the Jazz GM.
It didn't surprise me that DL went on his "European Scouting Trip" almost the day after Ty was fired. It won't surprise me in the least when Messina is hired neither. Let's wait and see - but if my hunch is right - DL will announce Messia as our HC over the coming months or not weeks.
