Will Hardy expected to be hired as head coach

[YoungJefe]

Sounds like the Jazz are signing Hardy to a 5 year deal. He will be the youngest head coach in the league.

He's one of the youngest head coaches. in NBA history.

George Karl was about the same age when Golden State hired him. Dave Cowens may have been younger when he was the Celtics player coach,

For anyone interested here is a coaching panel he was doing back when the bubble was going on down in Orlando. His segment starts around 1h26m and lasts for about an hour

33 is the youngest ever, at 34 I think he's one of the top 5 youngest ever hired.

His story reminds me of Eric Spoelstra, started out as a video coordinator and worked his way up.

Spoelstra is my favorite coach in the NBA largely due to his story. And he's a damn good coach.

We would be extremely lucky if Hardy is that good.

Hopefully Don can recruit two other elite HOF players so Hardy has the same talent level that Spo had in Miami.

It feels like one of the correct choices. Hard to guess anything but I like it.

I like the toughness and emphasis on playing hard over in my Miami. That's why I felt Chris Quinn is a good option too.

It’s not the guy I personally wanted, but I wanted nothing to do with a retread vet coach like Stots or whatever. So I’m good with it. Hope Jensen stays on board

I was kind of hoping for a former player. I think there is a different level of respect from players for someone who has done what they have done before.

That said, I'm hoping for the best. I'm guessing he must be a pretty smart guy to make it this far at this age, so I like that.

Thats a great question there. If Jensen is out I think that would hurt Rudy.
