He just doesn't wanna make it seem like he'd only be getting the job because Ryan's his son, so building up guys like Wiggins and Lavine, etc. would look good on Ryan's resume.
I think the uproar over a move like this would be enormous...I don't see it happening. Flip has said a few times that he will ultimately be measured by the choice he makes for head coach, and handing the job over to a guy who has never been hired for an NBA job by anyone other than his dad, and even has a lowly role on his dad's teams, would be absurd.
I will admit I had a sick feeling in my stomach when Glen gave his niece the CEO role in his company last week though. But she had a real resume.

What a shock (not!). Flip perfectly set the bar low with this past season. All they have to do is not tank and they'll show improvement. That buys him another year as coach. And things should (assuming the draft/development works out) keep getting better at that point. Flip's not stepping aside as coach if things start going well. You change coaches after shitty seasons (like last one) - not when things are going well.
