So Ainge did a... Derek Fisher in order to join the Jazz?
It really sounds like the Jazz hired a baby-faced version of Quin Snyder.

The real losers here: Hookers and cocaine dealers.
Give him time. The stress will wear on him.
I will say this, I kind of dislike the over-obsession with "intelligence". Not that I want a dumbass as a coach, but with Quin and now Hardy, there seems to be too much emphasis on being a galaxy brained, private school educated genius.
Also Locke repeated what I heard from my sources. Alex Jensen is on an expensive contract with 2 years left (I thought it was 1) and there is no reason for Utah to want to let him go and pay him that contract to do nothing. Also, there arent any better jobs out there for Jensen currently, so he has no reason to leave.
Locke also added another layer basically saying that the Popovich/Bud coaching tree is spread so thin that there arent that many assistant available who come from those crews. The Jazz have a lot of those currently, so Locke wouldnt be surprised if a lot of the staff just stayed.

I think having the galaxy-brain is a big advantage - but it doesn't necessarily need to come from the head coach.
I imagine there's a lot of coaching staffs in the NBA where the head coach is more of a culture setter and people leader, while his assistants are the brain trust.

The question is will Don be mature enough to listen and recognize the truth in those statements or get butthurt and be a selfish POS who quietly refuses to accept such ideas.

You can be a genius and still have a personality. Quin didn’t have both imo. Time will tell with Hardy.
