And having played in the league for a few years himself, he has always been considered a players Coach.
We probably won't even look at him, but I'm not sure why someone would be against hiring him.
I know the Lakers were looking to bring him back before settling on Brown (He Coached them to the Finals previously).

Yay. I wanted Triano out, I think he got a lot more credit than due for the young player development. That said he is in the Tannenbaum field of dreams so would be in the organization somewhere.
As for replacements, SVG isn't going anywhere, forget the silly crap about Sloan or Phil Jackson coming out of retirement cuz it isn't happening, and if by some miracle it did, it wouldn't be here.
Since Colangelo is now saying experienced/resume:
Adelman would be a great pick-up, and Apollo's point about GM/coach would be very interesting. He has not coached on the east coast or conference I believe, but would love him here.
Frank I am back and forth on, but would be happy with the choice.
JVG - doubt it but sure I would be fine with this.
Larry Brown...next. Seriously don't even think about it.
Mike Woodsen - I can't offer a truly informed opinion, I defer to the other posters
Fratello - Meh
Dunleavy - uh, not my choice.

I would like to get a big name coach, but do you think they would come to TOronto? More importantly, would a defensive minded coach want to coach for Toronto? If a new coach held players accountable on defense who would play? JJ? JW?
I dont like this move at all. Jay was a bad defensive coach but the players liked him and thats what matters. Also, dont forget, before Chris Bosh quit on us he did get the Raps to 4th in the Eastern Conference.
I hope we can get Frank or Mike Woodsen. Its hard to see adleman or brown wanting to come into a rebuild situation this late in their career.

I thought they'd bring him back as a sacrificial lamb for next year's crapfest. I'm surprised by this. Now, the new guy is going to have wear the stink of next season.
Well, good luck to Jay. I don't think he was a bad coach or a bad guy but he was certainly out of his depth that first year and the rosters handed to him the last 2 did him no favours. It's hard to blame Triano for what has happened the last 3 years but someone needed to take the fall for this 22-win team. Next up: Andrea Bargnani meets the Sword of Damacles.

Based on Colangelo's comments, I don't see how he can now hire a first-time head coach. I can't imagine he'd do this unless he had a target and had some indication that guy would come to Toronto. I just can't figure out what quality, veteran coach in his right mind would want to coach the 2011-12 Raptors.

I can see Colangelo pulling some weak ass shit like bringing in the dude that just got fired in GS, Keith Smart.
