I vote for Monty as our head coach and Billups as our no. 2.
Before you say it, of course I realize this is a pipe dream.

There is a book about the "Power of the assistant Coach".
Every successful head coach will tell you they would not be where they are without their assistants. Seems like every successful head coach picks up powerful assistants.
Basketball is a team game and in my opinion the team does include the coaches and their philosophies. Assistant coaches play a role just like any role player on the team. A team might not become a contender with the addition of a good assistant but i would counter with you will not be a contender without good assistant coaches.

I think we're most singing the same tune here. I do think a team could contend without good assistants, but also think they can add value.

Didn't he might one all defense teams when he played.

Yeah he was on the all defense second team twice and was known as a great defending guard. He was also on one of the greatest defensive teams of all time. So this idea that he's an offensive coach is a little offensive. The guy is obviously going to be a two way head coach with assistants that specialize in different aspects of the game on both ends of the court.

Flipping through channels I had to do a double take when I saw Vinny Del Negro flash across my screen on NBC. Dude is playing golf on national TV:

The fuck? Did he really want to come back to coaching or was Neil just doing his guy a favor?

He probably hired a new agent that would actually get his name in the mix again...of course Neil knows Vinnie...Neil is a Mike Dunleavy disciple and Vinnie and he have that connection through the Clippers. I was more shocked when Jeff Van Gundy's name was thrown out there...he hasn't coached in decades either..

Edniesha Curry on Wikipedia. Got to say, I've seen better-written Wiki entries. Also got to say, nothing in this screams "NBA assistant coach candidate" - I sure hope this isn't partly a PR move as a sop to the people (like me) who wanted Becky Hammon.

I agree that her resume does not look like an NBA assistant coach candidate... ESPECIALLY for a Rookie NBA Head Coach with minimal experience.

From the outside, this 100% looks like a PR move.

I thought the plan was to surround Billups with experienced ex-NBA head coaches. That's not what this is...

Back of the bench assistants aren’t usually people with much experience.

As for your PR comment- predictable and just laughable at this point.

No one saw us hiring a female assistant... oh wait, everyone in here said that would be a good PR move and if it's a competent hire a good move all around. Yeah, now all the team needs is a blockbuster deal and the entire narrative will be changed back to wins and losses.
