Blazer coaching search

[MickZagger]

Holy shit! Mike Dunlap, there's a blast from the past.

He coached my home town Adelaide 36ers for three seasons back in the mid 90's.

Former Trail Blazer Rick Brunson played for the 36ers during Dunlap's tenure.

WTF is a 36er?

I get that he's a great X's and O's guy, but he was an assistant at a smallish college. What he will have to prove is that he can manage and coach NBA players. During practices and games.

I can't remember the last time a college assistant was hired as an NBA head coach, kind of odd.

Rumors: Brian Shaw passed on Bobcats? http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm

Maybe Olshey and company have been more active than we give them credit for?

Can the Trail Blazers keep their coaching search quiet amidst all the agents' noise? I wish them luck: http://www.csnnw.com/pages/landingd...e-an-NBA-coach-w=1&blockID=727078&feedID=8351

Neil Olshey: Blazers coaching search will be "exhaustive." http://bit.ly/KHKLaP

Should we expect a hire about this time next year?

I was surprised when he made the NBA.

With agreement reached, Hennigan will focus on Dwight Howard and draft, sources say. Orlando coaching search won't start until after draft.

Now it's for sure pretty much on anyone on our radar should be still available when we "start" the coach hiring process.

I think that is a great hire by them

Could Phil Jackson be wanting to coach OKC since they have Durant? That would make Scott Brooks available since he doesn't have a new contract.

Please god no on Scott Brooks. He makes 1 defensive adjustment that works out in 4 series and suddenly everyone wants him. There are at a least 7 out of work coachs and 5 assistance I can think of off the top of my head I would much much rather have then Brooks.

Yeah, wasn't sure how much of his success was due to having a great player vs. X's an O's

Me neither. A great find was when Bob Whitsitt hired the Real Madrid coach, who then took the Sonics to the Finals. George Karl.

 

[jlprk]

Brian Shaw has interest in this coaching job over Charlotte, and possibly Orlando as well.

Coincidentally, that's the order of the pay he'd get. From top to bottom, Portland, Orlando, Charlotte.

For example, with McMillan's bloated contract, don't expect McMillan to coach until Paul Allen's liability ends.

Me neither. A great find was when Bob Whitsitt hired the Real Madrid coach, who then took the Sonics to the Finals. George Karl.

That actually makes a strong case for hiring re-treads as Karl had been fired at Cleveland and GoldenState prior to coaching Seattle.

 

[jlprk]

He had been written off and totally forgotten after those 2 losing teams. He had to go to Europe to find a job. So he was beneath the retreads.

When Whitsitt hired him, it was as radical as drafting a forward around 19th in the draft who hadn't played in college. Nowadays it's ordinary, but back then Shawn Kemp was very risky.

Good stuff! Love reading quotes like this from someone with credibility and experience. But the blind haters will still hate.

Why? He looked like he did a great job getting them over San Antonio. He also keeps Durant and Westbrook from imploding.
