Yeah; Rex REALLY shouldn't even be in the running. Like outside of just courtesy.

I have zero legitimate insight into who's actually a good candidate. I think Masai will make a good choice."Stop eating your sushi."

Ive heard Messina can be a bit of a hard ass. Could this be why he hasn’t been offered a head coaching job?
I think he is my second choice to Jeff Van Gundy. Although I think that is a long shot.

And that first firing came 3 years too late and it was about as awkward as it could possibly get. We are in uncharted waters here. I think he's still in shock over just how quickly the wheels came off.

They never even made Bud an offer.golden wrote: View PostDo we really know that they had nobody lined up for sure..... or are Nick Nurse and Stackhouse the fallback plan, but the optics of announcing that right away would have been terrible and also just out of respect to Casey?

As for optics, I don't know that hiring someone straightaway would have been that bad if it was a big hire, which is what I was anticipating.
