I'm just not feeling many, if any, of these names out there.

 

Gentry is okay, but he just seems like a stop-gap.  Everyone else seems like eventual wash outs.

 

Is it me, or is the coaching pool for the NBA extremely diluted and shallow nowadays.

 

F*ck, call Don Nelson out of retirement.

You're not alone in that. Whoever we hire will probably be fired in 2-3 years, which is considered a dynasty in bobcat franchise history.

Sadly, 2 to 3 years would be a MAJOR improvement.

 

I really don't know what to think about all of this. Part of me would like a coach whose been successful previously like Sloan but there are no guarantees. Winning in basketball like most sports comes down to having a solid general manager, drafting the right players, signing the right guys in free agency, etc. I am questioning our front office more and more and wondering if anybody we hire is going to matter, because the right pieces aren't there to create a winner.

  • Quinn Snyder played PG at Duke and was a asst. under Coach K.
  • Very smart guy, graduated w/ double major from duke, received JD from Duke law school, and a MBA from Duke business school. Considered a pick and roll guru and has published articles on the evolution of the pick and roll. Would be a offensive minded coach.
  • First head coaching job was with mizou. Did a very good job, but resigned because a handful of minor NCAA violations.
  • got back into coaching in the d-league w/ austin torros(2007-2010) Won championships with them.  
  • Develope coach with 76ers, Asst. coach under Lakers. Went to Moscow w/ other asst. coach that took head job.
  • Suns, 76ers, and Bobcats are giving him extensive looks
He would be a good hire. Was the frontrunner last year until Dunlap cockblocked him for the job.

You forgot to add "disgraced college coach" to that list.

He got Mizzou in big time trouble that they've only recently recovered from.

Sampson fits the "disgraced college coach" description as well.

 

Maybe even more so than Snider. Look how long it took Indiana to recover from that mess he left up there. And Indiana is one of the premiere college basketball programs in the country. Certainly top 5. No offense to any Missouri fans but no one is going to confuse Mizzou basketball with Hoosier basketball.

I have a feeling that we aren't going to hire a guy like Gentry (someone who is well known). It's not necessarily a bad thing, though, as long as they make the right hire this time. I really wish that we would've just kept Dunlap for one more season, because I didn't think that he did all that bad (made mistakes, but helped us improve a lot from last season as well). He wasn't the right coach, though, so I suppose that if we were going to look for another coach soon, we may as well do it now and let him grow with our young roster.

You think he is gonna get the bobcats in trouble with the NCAA?

 

Sampson was one of the hottest, most intriguing college basketball coaches 10 years ago. They don't just had the keys to anybody at Indiana. He is unscrupulous and has never proven he can be a HC in the NBA. There's a reason he has been buried on an NBA bench and hasn't gone back to a college job. No school wants to touch him. He isn't Calipari or even Bruce Pearl.

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
