Oso planning to go pro
Izzo is not going to the league. Neither is Wright.
I don't think Wright wants the NBA [very smart knowing where he'd be successful]I don't think the NBA wants Izzo [old & damaged goods]
Someone with NBA experience.
If you're the Bucks and Wright isn't an option who's your #1 target and why?
The Suns connection is they are owned by Mat Ishiba who played for Izzo. I think Ishiba would prefer Izzo stay at Michigan State.
I wonder if Doc retires to the golf course.
Doc Rivers has entered the carousel3 consecutive ECFs with the Sixers, and terminated.
Becky Hammon. She was one of the premier assistant names for years, went through the interview process here when Bud was hired, and when she finally got a shot at a head gig, all she did was post the best record in the league and win the WNBA Championship.If they want to look at the college ranks, I'd tab Bill Self. I think his style would translate well to the NBA and he's done very well adapting to his personnel and winning regardless.The last thing I would do is stick with the Nurse/Williams/Bud style circular hiring ring. Feels often like NBA coaching is just musical chairs, and I think having someone with fresh eyes that can be a long term answer is a better course.
If Detroit beats the fix and wins the lottery, they will have the coaches contacting them instead of vice versa. Their young core healthy plus the French treat?
The NBA is a player driven league. Can't see the Bucks ownership trusting a woman to get the most outta #34, #22, etc. Just sayin'. Bud to PhoenixNurse to Philly#31 to MKE, hey?
I would trust her over any of the musical chairs candidate. Honestly, I think she's not just the best candidate in the field, but far and away the best. 1,000 times better than Doc. And that's probably understating it.
