***Official new head coach search thread*** (merged)

So it must be Jazz v Knicks for the Messiah, Ettore Messina. An Italian always sounds good for New York.. can the Lindzzmaster pull a trick out his sleeve?

Espn reported the Lakers will keep onto D Antoni another season.

Doubt Phil Jackson would hire Messina.. he doesn't look like the kinda guy who trusts people he don't know/have worked with.

I hadn't thought about this.

Ya.
I hope the jazz get thier man before its too late.

On the other hand..... maybe a current playoff coach will end up being the right guy for the jazz

The other commentator was like, "Uhhhh, I'm sure there's other ways then self harm.."

Like spilling a beverage on the court?

I will support the coach that is hired, even if it is Boylen, until they give me a reason not to.

Agreed. I just hope that they hire someone who makes that easy for me.

I wonder if the new coach will finally remove that ridiculous no headbands rule.

I prefer the no headband look but the ban is dumb.

Messina's last five years in European basketball was all failure.
Big clubs that chose him (after spending hugely into strong rosters) have been sorry (Real Madrid, CSKA).
While he has not been able to do it in Europe for a serious length of time now, I can't logically see how he will be successful in NBA basketball,
after whatever span of time he will need for adjusting.
If the Jazz will be patient enough to give him like 5 years, without rethinking about it regardless of pain in the meantime, they might look forward to shifting to a certain degree of "European basketball mentality", and I wouldn't understand why that would be desirable anyway (I am a European myself.)

What would you say the reason for that is? He had been very successful between 1998-2008.

Quin Snyder or Ed Pinckney

Random thought I just had.

If the Jazz signed Messina, would that increase the chances of Tomic coming over at all?
