Woodson did a good of preaching and enforcing accountability, especially the way he handled JR early on. By the time he left it was the opposite. Deserves another shot, just not in NY when there are some better choices available. |

Kenny Smith or Mark Jackson
Steve A. Smith as the GM We need some NYer's in here for once. Not from Utah, Not from Indiana, but from NYC. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.

The mind games he played don't bother me that much, because it sounds like the head games Pitino allegedly played when he coached here. But some of the other crazy stuff?...Don't know man... Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Fizdale...He was a part of a championship coaching staff, he turned the Griz into a more uptempo team and went to the playoffs....Learned from Riles and Spo. He is one of the next, young coaching minds that can help turn a franchise around. Dont let this man walke out of the interview without contract in hand.

Who are y'all?" Hilarious!!! |

BigDaddyG wrote:blkexec wrote:Kenny Smith or Mark Jackson Once a NYer.....Always a NYer I honestly don't know about his coaching style or resume. All I know is he built the foundation for GS and Kerr took off and ran with it. As much credit as MJ deserves, I don't think he would've had the same success as Kerr, but he gets credit for laying out the architectural plans.... But if we continue to get these non NYers I'm going to go crazy....And non NYers don't last long in this hostile environment. I don't know much about Fizdale...And Stackhouse seems like an up and coming coach with loads of potential.....Same with Fizdale. But one person I have followed and paid close attention to is Kenny Smith. His basketball mind is at the top with the rest of the high Basketball IQ sports figures. But I rather have him as a GM. I'm just starving for a NYer to finally push this team in the right direction, while using his NY savy-ness to control the media drama, and tell the fans what they want to here. It's not about coaching right now, during this rebuild. It's about having the right person in place to handle all the garbage that comes at us during the off season or in season, while having the relationship skills to interact with players, management and owner (Dolan). We need synergy more than coaching skills. A non-NYer with top notch coaching talent will not last during a rebuild. If we were a championship caliber team with only a few moves away from competing for a championship, then we need a coach like Fizdale. But during this rebuild process, we need a different type of coach. Someone we can use and spit out when we are championship ready. What I would like is a combination of these guys like MJ and JVG.....Woodson and Fizdale Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.

Blatt give Mills what he wants. Hiring Stack would be messy no experience. Vogel is my second choice and why not throw Mark Jackson.

Being a hometown hero might buy Mark a few months, but they'll come at him soon enough. As far as coaching, I never was impressed with GSWs offense and there varying reports on how much he impacted their defensive skills. Kenny? I'm not sure his heart is into coaching anymore. I wouldn't mind giving him a courtesy call tho. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too.

If not JVG, then Stackhouse then Fizdale.
JVG is a proven commodity. If he wants the job then that would make me think that he thinks he can win and soon. Stackhouse is up and coming. Good fit for this team that is up and coming. Fizdale had a good but short first run. Not sure he can handle NY but seems to be well liked and is a Riley guy like JVG. I'd be happy with one of these 3. Hell no to Woodson! Yes, I might make that my signature. |

Ettore Messina is the coach I would want. He is in a proven system with the spurs and has won multiple championships in Europe. Besides his brilliant basketball mind he is a very likeable person.

I know very little about Messina, other than he worked under Popovich for several years. That's one choice. Blatt would also be an interesting choice. He's won here as well as in Europe. Lastly, Fizdale seems to have an interesting pedigree. One of these three might be able to take our toddlers to the next level.

I'd love JVG, but really anybody but Jackson. I'll welcome back Woody before Mark "holier than thou" Jackson.
