Who would you like as an assistant on the Jazz staff?

I'd like to see us get a big-man coach to help develop Kanter. I'd go with Karl Malone, but I'd rather have an ex-center. Many guys I've thought of are already assistants on other teams. Kevin McHale would've been great (yes, he mostly played PF, but actually played some C too) as well as Laimbeer, but both are already assistants.
This guy actually has a Utah connection as a Utah Star, though brief, and actually helped develop some of Hakeem Olajuwon's moves in the paint before he entered the NBA. Saw him play a lot of games; a real horse!!

Some others I've thought of: Hakeem Olajuwon, Robert Parish ("the chief").... I'd be interested to hear what other Jazz fans think!

Bonus: He can replace Hornacek as our part-time shooting coach.
 
Karl Malone to work with Utah's plethora of bigs and also a defensive specialist like what Thibodeau and Mike Brown were before they became head coaches.
