I do, however, hope that they keep Jay in the program, even if it's not as the head coach. The guy knows his stuff. I just don't think making in game adjustments is a strong skill of his."Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

While you don't necessarily need a Canadian as coach, I'd like to see a move to Smart or Rana as HC. (Both those guys are taking sabbaticals from the university jobs this year... maybe taking some time off to study up on the international game more?)

It's ridiculous to not hire guys from other countries out of pride, since many of those other countries have had better development programs (for players and coaches) for decades. It not only can be better coaching than they'd get from a Canuck, but could also help improve Canadian coaches by pulling better coaching minds in from the outside.
I think if we looked closer at guys like David Smart and Greg Francis, or Roy Rana like octothorp mentioned, OR even look for a young guy like Kyle Julius, and put them through the FIBA seminars, hire some good foreign assistant coaches, and really worked to development their Coaching Experience I think we could definitely have a successful Canadian (not named Triano or Rautins) calling the shots.Last edited by Joey; Mon Feb 15, 2016, 02:34 PM.

I find it odd that in the National game the head coach doesn't have to be from the same country. A coach is part of the team, so should come from that country as well. But they do that in other sports (gymnast coaches are typically European for example).
I'm not a fan of Triano at all.. doesn't seem like his guys are well prepared when the pressure is really on. Brad Stevens would be an awesome hire - if he was available.
