This may not warrant its own thread.....

[Coach Ellis]

This is NOT a list of homerun hires, but guys I would look at when replacing Ty.

Sean Miller - Helluva coach, very bright future.
Thad Matta - Great coach.
Bob Huggins - VERY underrated and would remind everyone of Majerus R.I.P.
Jim Larranaga - UNderrated
Shaka Smart - young upcoming coach that would be fun to have running the team.
Jay Wright - Looks the part. haha

Here's another one for you. . .

Ettore Messina

Possibly the first ever European born head coach?

He worked for the Lakers for a little while, has had success at the international level and the Hawks flirted with the idea of hiring him for the head job last year. Greg Popovich thinks highly of him and expects that a team with "guts" will take a chance on an international coach. Seems like something that DL would be interested in doing. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Just so you know. I'm from Kentucky, somewhat of a redneck, and generally feel Europeans suck at basketball. and tbh.. are deficient in every way.

one name...

Derek Fisher... retires, comes back to Utah again, and again and again, why not???

Stop being a dick.

Hollins might be that guy, before going to college at AZ State, he attended Dixie Community College in St. George, Utah.

Per wiki.

True...and a great reason to support the hire....... nuff said.

Now Dixie State University, just for the record.

 

[UGLI baby]

What do NBA decision makers know about Hollins that ol UGLI doesnt?

Not sayin I'd be jumping for joy if we hired him, but he seems like a better coach than about half of NBA coaches.

What's the deal?

****ing conspiracy nutcases..... I agree....... giton Hollins!

I thought hollins was not sold I the advanced stats stuff, and that was why he was out in Memphis? He seems old school to me.

Old school can be good. Like if they hired hollins and PKMoon

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Hollins or Karl. Not hard tbh.

 

[UGLI baby]

Hell no on Karl

[Bawse Dawg]

What's wrong with Karl?

 

[UGLI baby]

What's wrong with Karl?

Gimmicky coach that'll get you into the playoffs and nothing else.

[UGLI baby]

Karl is a fantastic coach if you want to be a treadmill team.

Which is why we win our second game tonight. Chicago has quit and wants Thibbs out. This may be the ugliest game ever played. The TERRIBLE Jazz vs the trying to be more terrible Bulls.

Boom bitches.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Maybe those Denver teams just weren't built for the playoffs? like the Clippers. Not my first choice but can't go wrong with it IMO.

 

[The Thriller]

George Karl or Lionel Hollins.

What the hell do you know about treadmills?

 

[Zulu]

This!!!!

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Hell no on Karl

He took the SuperSonics to the Finals, he could have had a ring, like Utah could've if it wasn't for those damn Bulls.
