JVG would be a great motivator. It's not like Casey is some "new age" innovator with the X's and O's. He does however have some good assistant coaches, which JVG would also have. He'd have respect from the players forsure, his name and face carry clout in this league, and being on TV the past bunch of years probably HELPED his cause. Make no mistake the man is still up on basketball, and has probably had a chance to breath, and watch "today's game" from the sidelines without the bias and emotion, all 30 teams.

Who knows, maybe he's the guy we need but we can't know that. I feel like the only reason we're talking about him is because he's a Van Gundy and he's on t.v and he's kinda cool cause he says stuff.

Seems like we're overrating this guy simply because he says things on TV that his colleagues are afraid to say.
Players and coaches really love and respect JVG though. He's the guy that took a punch from Marcus Camby. I don't seem him having a problem building a staff or relating to players.

Coaching is easy....scream keep your hands up, yell at people who don't get back on defense, and pull JV as soon as he catches fire

JVG is a guy who can draw up plays at the end of games. He's level-headed, and we wont have some of the same problems we have with utilizing the roster (Casey favors shot jackers, not efficient players like James Johnson)
JVG is a guy who can move away from iso-metric play and into a real system. He's a guy that makes adjustments in the playoffs, and could win you a series.
I don't think Thibs would work well here - we dont have the defensive talent that would suit him well.
