Thibs is running away from the rest of the pack

The fact Doogie thinks this actually calms my fears.

Doogie gets a ton of venom from the fanbase but I don't recall reading a lot of his stuff that seemed or was way off base.

Really? I used to follow him on twitter and I thought he was clueless much of the time. Just doesn't seem to grasp reality very well.

We agree about Wolfson. He means well. I guess that should count.

The short story on Wolfson is he tries to get as much info as he can and he puts a lot out there. I'm sure he has some good info but you have to wade through all the FWIW stuff and decide what may be worthwhile. It's understandable he gets dismissed even when somethings he will come up with some worthwhile stuff. lol

I think it is interesting discussing the next head coach. If Flip Saunders were an option, would we consider him? What I mean is, if he were the POBO, and wanted to make himself coach (again), would we be ok with it? I was not thrilled with him naming himself coach a couple years back, even though I really liked the guy. BUT, now seeing the development of the talent and the vision Flip had, I wouldn't want anyone else. His tragic death has unfortunately lead the team to this place, but my opinion on Flip as coach has changed in retrospect. I just truly admire(d) the man in so many ways.

All things considered we have no idea what would have happened. Would Flip have performed as well as Sam this year or better? Even though he could have his pick of coaches would he have let another guy take over if he had coached this team to 33 wins? Through it all (a lot of good and some bad) Flip left this franchise in a great situation. Hopefully a few years from now it can result in a championship and there will be at that time some nice reflections back on Flip's legacy. It would be neat if the new people running the organization had some connection with Flip although that's not exactly hard to find because Flip was Flip. :)

Would be excited about either. Favor Van Gundy for his enthusiasm and positive demeanor. I am confident either would get results with this team.

Do any of these sources exists outside the confines of your own head?

So why did we hire the Korn Ferry then if he has it down to these two? I mean Katy Perry?

You'd rather have a coach who hasn't coached in almost a decade over Thibs? I know you're not really on board with Thibs, but that doesn't sound like the best option.

In a perfect world, we get both of them. JVG in the FO and Thibs on the hardwood. That's not completely out of the question either.
