The Indiana law that prevents Bird from taking black players or coaches is ruining the team.
 
I can totally see Nate and KP reuniting in Indy next season.

Nate never showed any special liking for Pritchard. And he apparently wanted a different type of player than Pritchard did.

Last season McMillan asked for more shooters, so they drafted Babbitt. After Pritchard was gone, McMillan overpraised Armon Johnson so he could get them to trade Bayless. There were several other Pritchard acquisitions over the years who never got any playing time from McMillan, so we now view them as minor players, but when we got them, more was expected. (Look at the rosters, at the guys who played few minutes.)

So I think McMillan would avoid coaching a Pritchard team.
 
O'Brien is a great tactician, but I don't think he is much of a leader. He'll be a terrific assistant coach somewhere.
 
Is he still married to Dr. Jack's daughter?
