This crowd doesn't care that Woody is STILL under contract. Sund should have been out there conducting interviews as soon as he got the job. Who cares about decorum. Fire that bastard!Avery Johnson is still under contract. Should Dallas not have interviewed other coaches for the next 2 years? I think most people are advocating the ASG should have fired Woodson and opened a search for the next coach.I haven't heard the groundswell of support from players or league insiders but you can fill me in. All I remember is JJ supporting Woodson and Detroit seeking a nominal interview with him while he was still under contract with Atlanta and as Curry seemed to already have the Pistons' job lined up.see that's fine. If you wanted Woody fired understandable. But, I've seen post saying Sund didn't even interview other candidates to see if Woody was the best. My point is of course he didn't. He had two choices 1)Retain Woody or 2)Fire Woody and then find the best candidate. These people want option 3) Let's hold interviews and if Woody is the best then he can come back. Ha ha.

the positition was not filled.His contract was over.No his contract is not over yet......and regardless....name me one instance where a company interviews for a contracted position before releasing the current employee?.....it doesn't happen....you can't interview people and then come back to Woody while he is under contract....and if you wait until after he is under contract do you think he's going to take a 2 year deal when you possibly get turned down by everyone else? wow. You guys are living in la la land.

How do you interview someone when you have the position filled? I keep seeing this and I'm floored as to where you guys work where they interview for occupied positions? I've worked for Manufacturers, Government Agencies, and Law Firms. I have never seen a position interviewed for when the incumbents contract is up for renewal. And if a company did this the person in that job would have surely walked. Are you guys crazy? That would be the ultimate slap in the face.

Honestly, as a Hawks fan I'm realistic. If I was a good coach would I come here? No. If I'm Flip or Avery coming from the rosters they just oversaw, I'm looking at the Hawks with no pick this year and thinking, I can't do better than what I just did with this roster. And what I just did got me fired. I'd wait until maybe Portland is looking for a coach or Orlando etc. I'm not risking my career on this team with this ownership. If I'm an up and coming assistant I pass on this job. That leaves us with a mediocre retread or an unknown 1st timer. In that scenario I'm okay with giving the Devil I know a little more time.

actually, considering what Pheonix and Chicago.....two better situations came up with......I'm almost of the opinion this was the right move. We know this team can overcome Woodson's flaws and be successful. So 2 years to see if he and Sund are a better mix makes sense. Also, don't rule out a strong experienced asst. coach being brought in to "help" Woodson.

per AJC.com

how about.....

Acie

Bibby

JJ

JS

AH

Let Bibby play the 2 spot on offense...on D let Acie defend the 2 guard.....real simple.

Did he even show up at the office today? haha. I imagine him calling in.....

receptionist: Good morning Atlanta Spirit Group

BK: Hi Michelle? This is Billy I won't be in today.

receptionist: Hi Billy are you ill?

BK: I might be. I might not be. I wouldn't tell you if I were sick. Not saying that I am.

receptionist: Okay Billy. Have a good day.

haha.

no, but seriously is he pretty much done or is he going to have a few more meetings with Sund etc. between now and tomorrow.

I see you only have 2 post here.

Let me explain.

KB has a history of Going with everything that those in charge wants to do. He's an appeaser if you will.

He was for trading of Dominique.

He was for trading of Motumbo.

He was for trading for JR Rider and JJ.

He was for drafting Bogut in a major way. Then when it was found out that we were going with Marvin, he was for drafting Marvin and all the sudden no longer like Bogut.

He was for drafting Foye (I believe) and when it became common knowledge that we were drafting Shelden, he was for Shelden.

Moreover, he's not honest.

If he tells me it's Thursday, I'm reaching for my calendar.

He was supposedly at the Perkins vs. Jefferson showdown in MS... however, it was later revealed that he wasn't.

So now that he's on board with Sund... It's just more of the same. I'm sure if I had the time, I could go back in history and see where he has slammed some of the Sonic's moves and may have even called the GM stupid.

That's what makes him the company man. Anything that comes from ASG, he's for it.

That's not being logical. That's not thinking for yourself.

It makes it easy on the leader when the followers refuse to think for themselves.

ah......that explains things more......I assumed he was the company man for not pounding the Sund hire.....

he didn't really champion the 'Nique trade did he? that's just evil......I don't even think Steve Belkin would back Kasten on that one.

so because a fan can be logical.....not make irrational assumptions due to yellow journalism....and actually roots for the organization....he's a company man?......good for KB

I don't see the issue people have with the hire.....he isn't going to be making lottery picks if things go as planned......the team is built for the most part......we just need him to make 3 decisions that he seems to be qualified to make according to his record.

1. Woodson(30 years in the NBA he should be able to make a decision quickly)

2. Keeping or trading the Joshes(he seems to have a good handle on dealing players, and if we are keeping them its a money issue that other teams will decide anyway)

3. Filling the bench(He found Damien Wilkins, brought in Wilcox)

so my opinion is fans should wait and see. let the guy make a few moves before we decide on this hire.
