I remember hearing that MU or the Rap's organization was taking a look at Thibs as a replacement for Casey, but were turned off that he basically had no life outside of basketball. Was that just a rumor or was there an actual quote for MU on that?
The reason I'm asking is that the players being brought in seem very Thibs-esque. Defensive minded, hard working players that won't complain about having to work hard. Basically, defensive minded players mostly seem to have high motors and the "hard work" gene imbedded in them. So, is Thibs really off the books as the next Raptors coach or taking a break before potentially coming here?

I'll also venture to guess most, if not all, coaches want hard working defensive minded players with high motors.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Unfortunate, if that was the deal breaker, since Thibs-coached teams embody everything that Masai says he wants the Raps to be, on the court.

Agree, all coaches want those types of players, but few can be clearly identified as having a type of player that matches their own distictinct coaching style. Thibs embodies hard nosed, defense first, hard working quality that for example coach Karl is not associated with.
And not saying the type of player MU is bringing in has something to do with his plans to hire Thibs in the off season, but it's certainly the type of cast I could see Thibs finding attractive. Plus, if you put any belief into Durant being an off season target then Thibs is the type of play off tested coach I'm sure KD would like to play for. Thibs also runs a more iso style offence which KD is use to.
Just speculation, but stars are potentially lining up if there is some intent by MU to follow that path.

Lowry and Thibs would be interesting though. It would either be incredible, with Lowry being a 1st team All-NBA candidate, or it would end in death."Stop eating your sushi."

I actually think Lowry's minutes would actually go DOWN with Thibs. For some reason, he tends to be able to turn any back up point guard into something special (probably due to Rose always being hurt). I think he'd do fine with CoJo.
With all that said; I think Thibs and Lowry would be an amazing fit together."My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr
