Who is the mystery "4th candidate"?

[JohnnyClutch]

I voted for Stockton (cause I want him -- literally (yeah baby!)), but as I think about it, dude wouldn't have to interview. Pretty much just take a phone call.

Stockton...

If reports of Stockton having a 2nd interview got out and we didn't hire him.... All hell would break loose in the SLC!!!

Stockton wouldn't need an interview. I still think it would be weird to pass your statue on the way to work every day.

I agree with your comment about the mystery candidate still working somewhere. But I'm not sure I understand the part about knowing more next week. CSKA likely has two more weeks of playoffs. Van Gundy could just step away from ESPN. As for Griffin or Snyder, they wouldn't need to give notice.

Exactly, I also think if reports came out about him he would quickly deny it and stop the interview process. He's like a dog you want to pet but you can't scare him off to quickly.

Yes Stockton would need an interview... They would want to make sure he is ok with the direction they are looking to head and have him explain his coaching philosophy...

Also if it is a Euro coach... Being closer next week could mean the eliminating of a candidate or two!!

I don't want Stockton..........at all.

I'd rather have him be an assistant for a year or two so that he can build a true identity as a coach.

I voted Blatt.

Van Gundy as HC. Stockton comes in as lead assistant and works specifically with the PG's.

The mystery 4th candidate is Greg Ostertag. Book it.

I like it.

I don't think any He for Utah would feel comfortable with Stockton as an assistant coach.

OK, Stockton just comes in as a part-time coach like Hornacek did for a couple of years. Jazz dangle a carrot by signing his son to be the 3rd-string PG.

The embarrassing part would be to have a 50-yr old be the best PG in the building during practices.

Now that I think about it, this could be the hold up. Jazz are investigating whether John has officially retired or not and what the rules are for a player-coach. League office has been tied up with the Sterling mess and that little thing called the playoffs, but has promised to respond next week.
