No mention of Nate, but Mo Cheeks gets some love. OUCH!

Kaleb Canales, Portland: The Blazers surprised everyone when they promoted Canales, 34, a former video coordinator, to the head-coaching job after firing McMillan last year. They surprised more people last summer when they hired Terry Stotts, and not Canales, as coach for this season. Like most video coordinators turned coaches (a group that includes Miami's Erik Spoelstra and Vogel) Canales is a maniacal worker -- McMillan once called him the hardest-working person in the Blazers' organization -- who led the Blazers to an 8-15 record last season. Portland would like to keep him, but Canales has a strong reputation around the league.

Until they see our defense at work!

Canales will never be an NBA head coach. He was promoted over Bickerstaff because Bernie didn't want it (same as when he was later acting Laker head coach), and because Kaleb was the cute young choice with the permanently-lifted cherubic eyebrows.

Kaleb Canales has funny game faces like Mark Cuban and John Gruden. I wish they would sometimes put a little 2nd screen on these guys when your watching the games. Some of the faces they make are hilarious.

The best thing Spoelstra does is roll the ball on the floor toward LeBron and then shut the hell up.

it surprised people they didn't hire Kaleb???

Well, maybe it surprised people because they figured they'd go cheap and hire him...

Maurice Cheeks? Unless he grew a pair since he saved Natalie Gilbert...

Maurice Cheeks is a horrible coach. Absolutely horrible. Great guy, but horrible coach.

She was a really good sport about the whole situation 8 years prior here.

In Australian Football the coaches have cameras solely dedicated to following them (must be a very boring job for the cameraman).

Mostly it's a waste of time, but you occasionally get some gems.

On big network shows like ABC/TNT...... we have cameras that iso the coaches. Pretty boring actually, but every now and then we get some good stuff.

I'm glad the article solo'ed out Joerger (somehow pronounced like Jager/Jagr, like the alcohol/hockey player). Lionel Hollins is an overrated head coach, and Henry Bibby's offense is holding the team back. We've got a great big man coach, Bob Thornton, but outside of that, David Joerger is the only other bright spot on our coaching staff. The management has yet to give Hollins an extension, despite the team's success, which only speaks to how much more important guys like Thornton and Joerger are than Hollins.

With that said, why the hell hasn't Brian Shaw been given a head coaching job yet? Hell, he's gotten the best endorsement there is, from Kobe Bryant, way before this article came out listing guys like Frank Vogel endorsing his coaching.

I wanna be a whiskey/hockey player! Henry Bibby played a restricted role under John Wooden, who believed his offense should come from forwards and centers. He should be assisting Doug Collins.
