2 different things.  Of course you prefer to meet/discuss in person, but the actual signing of documents need not be in person.

Well, for me..

The signing is contingent on these other things.  IF I get you face to face and you don't impress me enough, then I'm not giving you the keys to the kingdom.

Communicating with players is one thing. But communicating with the owner in a pressure situation is different.   Obviously.. it was something because at his last stint...  He kinda left Utah's owner believing that after the playoffs, he probably was still coming back.   That's a lack of communication.   If a guy can't be comfortable around you, he will always give you his associate and therefore, the communication will never be honest.

You're killing me.  We agree but you're trying to wrench a disagreement from me.

Well, I know that you're saying that the possibility exists to sign from all over the place.   You sound like a Verisign salesman.  I don't disagree.  I was speaking more from the standpoint of why wait this late to sign.. and not the logistics of signing.

Not sure if you're serious or half-serious or totally kidding... but in case you didn't get the memo... Koonin explicitly said Friday that they're expecting to keep the staff intact for the rest of this season and only hire a new HC.

Quin is also trying to get Danny Ferry back.

Diesel, c'mon man. Who doesn't know what that "something" was? Utah's GM decided to implode the roster. That's kinda a big "something" you've left out of your equation.

I would hope they would be respectful enough to not announce until after the Brooklyn game. 

 

It would leak today and formal announce tomorrow. Depends on where Quin’s plane is right now. Plane tracker anyone? What’s Tony’s private plane sign..

Synder was at a minimum a top 5 coach in the NBA in his Jazz years. I hope we get this sealed and done.

Hopefully they are just haggling over money and not personnel control.

Probably just deciding whether to send Trae to the gleague or just buy him out.  Fit issues, ya know.

As jokes aside, if they paying him top dollar I'm sure he's going to want some say on personnel.

Jokes?  What jokes?  Jettisoned Trae is just the first step to building the team around the true cornerstone piece, OO.

Seriously though, I imagine it'll be a HC+ role which may be a good thing for our green front office.

Early on it was said (by Shams?) that the Hawks are seeking someone who is proven to be able to facilitate culture change.

To my mind, if you're serious about that, you truly do have to let the guy be not only the contractor but the master architect of the house. If you're serious. Put it this way, it's a lot more struggle to do that if the players know the head coach remains  more vulnerable to being dismissed than any of them. They have to know the greatest power in the equation lies with QS.

Hopefully, the delay isn't actually a delay, but just our impatience to see it get done... it's not all that unrealistic that it's essentially done, but that they've pressed pause for the weekend, and picking it back up after today's game or tomorrow morning.
