Albeit a better job than the Suns and Knicks jobs he sought, since he wanted to go home to AZ or be in the big lights of NYC like I was saying. I also thought Spurs were a natural destination if Pop retired, of course. He didn't pursue the Suns job. He pulled his name out of the running. He also didn't "pursue" the Knicks job. It's more likely that he has had contact with Milwaukee and has already discussed contract parameters with them, and because of this, he pulled his name out of the Knicks running. But you can continue on with the unjustified Bud hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, what are your sources for saying that Bud didn't pursue the Knicks job and pulled out of the running? I just didn't see this reported anywhere. If anything, there was Marc Berman's piece saying that Bud badly wanted the Knicks job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parfait Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 42 minutes ago, KB21 said: So, the candidates for the Hawks job are: Jay Larranaga, Nate Tibbetts, Darvin Ham, Stephen Silas, Lloyd Pierce, and Jarron Collins. The only coach in this group that has drawn interest from other teams is Jay Larranaga, who is one of two finalists for the Charlotte job. Larranaga and Pierce intrigue me the most from this list, with Tibbets as third choice. Larranaga has a nice pedigree with his dad Jim, his experience working with Brad Stevens, and his player development background. Pierce also has extensive player development experience, has worked for two analytics-based organizations in Memphis (under John Hollinger) and Philly, and he's even gotten kudos from LeBron from his time as player development coach in Cleveland.

Good point, although Ham is in a slightly different situation, as he is in danger of being unemployed if someone else gets the head job and doesn't retain him.

KB21 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 It's really sad that we had Bud, one of the best coaches in the NBA, and these 6 our the ones we are choosing from to replace him. No matter who they hire, it is going to be a tremendous downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches develop and without question, I would like to see some of our coaches on the current staff retained. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new coach will have his too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was the best asset this team had, and you guys are supporting a neophyte GM running him off. You are going to get what you wished for. This team will suffer a lot of losing over the next few years because of the decisions they have made in the past year. Saying Bud isn't a good coach is crazy but he just quit on this team and fan base so I don't blame anyone in the fan base who attacks him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
