isn't it kinda rare for a coach to be fired and then have a new permanent one named? I can think of Lenny Wilkens for us but that was unique with Isiah coming in as he did.
I do think if the conjecture about Mills being pushed out, they'll want to get his replacement in place before making any moves.
And let's be honest, there might be some coaches let go at the end of the year that might be better than what is out there now.
And, I don't know that other assistant coaches are going to be interviewing mid season for the role. Like a Becky Hammon (don't wish her to suffer this franchise!) or someone else - it's not like they're going to take time out mid year - I don't think that is normally done, I could be wrong.
We have our interim coach - he seems like an awesome fit for this team of largely very young players. We've had so many other assistant coaches that have left and had success elsewhere - would be nice to see him succeed.
