I also think it’d be hard being a first time head coach in general and doing it at the NBA level and having someone with the kind of experience as Stotts has to be on the staff. I don’t want to say it’s intimidating but it’s like when a kid gets his license. He doesn’t want adults lingering like they’re still supervising, he wants to take his friends out and call the shots. It’s after you get that out of your system that you bring someone else in.
He hasn't ever been a head coach he was an intern for the Spurs for years and worked his way up their coaching ranks as an assistant.
Doesn't Stotts have some ties to the organization?
He was the head coach at Fairmont State.
He did some kind of observership with us but nothing outside of that.
For how long?
I think that it'd be beneficial to have someone with head coaching experience to help with day to day stuff as JB gets adjusted.
Yeah but Stotts is probably a pretty intimidating one. I certainly wouldn’t mind that but I don’t necessarily see it.
JB coached under Quin and Thibs, I don't think he's going to be intimated.
Two seasons.
Good to know. I'm not familiar with Kevin Young but Will Hardy and Johnnie Bryant both seem to be good young coaches. DA hired Doc Rivers and Stevens in Boston so I have some faith he'll get it right.
Wait, who are we talking about? I thought Kevin Young was in PHX. I can’t tie Will Hardy (Boston guy) to the college you mentioned.
Yeah I looked up Hardy but it said he has just been an assistant
Which candidate is mormon?
Jensen and Young.
I'd still put my money on JB but the longer it drags out the less likely it is that he's the next HC, imo.
