Want to make a bet the Hwks don't hire Mark Fox lol.

So, what are you going to say if they do hire him?

I will fully join you in calling for Schlenk's head if he hires Mark Fox.

I’d much rather have Mark Fox as our starting point guard than head coach. He’s not a good coach.

The idea is ludicrous.

I don’t really mean it, I just don’t see him as a good coach.

I’ve seen Marc Jackson, but has Mike Brown been mentioned anywhere in here? I’m not a fan of him, but he is a guy Schlenk has worked with.

Tavis Schlenk isn't a good GM either.  Just saying.

It’s a small sample size for him. He did well with his one draft. I wasn’t thrilled with the lack of return for the players we released during the season, but there probably wasn’t anything offered. If Bud wants an interview it’s a Bud decision, Schlenk would create tension saying no. 

If it is a tanking thing, that is on the owners and Budcox for not improving the team. I can’t say that he’s a good GM or a bad GM at this point.

Name them.  

I do think it is conspicuously interesting that Mark Fox is still available after he was rumored to be in for the CSU job and nothing has come out since he traveled with the Hawks.  

Here you go:

....and I believe Mark Jackson will be a candidate for two reason.

The Hawks next head coach may very well be in this photo:

Get ready for Jarron Collins or Stephen Silas to be the Hawks next head coach.

Bud isn't going to be here either, so the team takes another step back with Jarron Collins as it's head coach.  

7 - Jarron Collins

As I have maintained, he does not want to be a part of this.  He's going to leave, and now you are seeing the reason Travis Schlenk has been letting Mark Fox travel with the team.

I will also add that losing Bud will set this back even more.  

8 - Mark Fox

 

May have missed some.

[DBac]

Aw I thought I was first on Stephen Silas.

[DBac]

I didnt even realize he posted that pic right before I said Silas.

Yeah, I actually didn't mentioned most of those names.  I have mentioned Jackson, who I also later said it will not be due to his strained relationship with the Warriors front office, including Schlenk.  I have mentioned Fox, Collins, and Silas.  

[KB21]

Now, if you were to ask me who would be my top candidates to replace Bud:

1.  Ettore Messina

2.  David Fizdale

3.  David Blatt

4.  James Borrego

5.  Igor Kokoskov

However, we stand no chance at landing any of these.

I think Bud may still be butt hurt from his demotion. Phoenix has a much longer way to go in the west than we do in the east. If he goes to the Suns, he is clearly looking to move and coaching a winner has nothing to do with it.

Note on Kokoskov: He coached Luka Doncic on the Slovenian National Team.

[KB21]

In fact, the more I read, Igor would be my top guy.  It would allow the Hawks to maintain some system continuity as Utah runs a similar spread pick and roll system as Bud.

[KB21]

In fact, I'll say this.  If Schlenk can convince Igor Kokoskov to take this job, and he drafts Luka Doncic in the draft, I'll lay off him for a little while.

That'll take a miracle as grabbing Doncic looks like it'll be even tougher than getting Koko

Depends on how the lottery treats us.

Yup I think 3 is the latest we could pick and still have hopes for Doncic.

Why would anyone want Mark Jackson? His offense is strait out of the 80s/90s. Go get a young up and coming coach.
