Hawks in talks with Snyder

[Gray Mule]

I'm sure that almost all Squawk members want Quin Snyder as our next head coach.  I hope that we're not going to give him too much power.  We want him to have a strong voice in the operation of the team.  We do not want him to have absolute power over everything.

He's asking that our former GM, who stepped back for a younger GM, be given more power.  No problem with this.  We need all the brain power we can muster.  Our present GM and his assistant remain.  Good!

Right now, let's go play ball on this fine Sunday afternoon.  Joe, get us another win !!

Gray, you realize that when you say that... someone will  have that power.

Of Tony Peter Ressler, Landry Addison Fields, or Quin Price Snyder (... or Nick Ressler)?

 

Which?

Which?

 

Should have added... naturally, the owner will always ultimately hold ultimate power.

But what scenario makes it most likely that he will use that ultimate power? One where the leader is Fields, or one where the leader is Snyder?

It's a question that answers itself.

 

"Yeah, but Bud... yada yada yada"

Did Bud hold the gravitas that he holds today? No. It was that very fact, and Ressler's nervousness about Bud that invited  Ressler to quite blatantly and unapologetically stick his nose into basketball operations.

In family social sciences, that's called that triangulation... and more often than not, it leads to a lot of unnecessary family contempt and dysfunction.

Rather, there needs to be a very clear hierarchy of authority... whether in a family or in a workplace... and that that be respected... and that, as there is natural one-on-one conflict from time to time, say, between parents, that a third person in the family system (say, a child or an in-law) not be invited into the conflict... same with the Budcox era where a third person interjected himself into their (otherwise natural) conflicts of opinion to weigh-in--putting a thumb on the scale, of course, that weighs more than the other two combined since, of course, he is, after all, the owner.

 

The model is proven to work if you have a person who has earned sufficient and legitimated regard. And virtually everyone commenting on QS right now is talking of him as one of borderline-elite, if not elite, head coaches in the NBA today.

Just sayin.

Maintaining my refusal to give any clicks to anything associated with that blowhard's name... or for that matter, the one who fill essentially the same function for Fox Sports... what is it... Skip Brainless, iirc.
