    Not a fan of Vogel for this group, would be thrilled with Nurse or Udoka.

    I'd bet a lot of money the Raptors are hiring Ime. It just makes sense for them.

    Yes, the reason they fired Nurse now must have been that they were worried the Rockets might otherwise snap him up.

    This is where I’m at.

    Third choice would be Atkinson

    I wonder how much the Nigerian ethnic affinity plays a role here...

    yeah, but Hakeem is not in charge of hiring. While Toronto has an ethnic Nigerian President...

    Kenny was my guy last time we were hiring a coach, but with Ime and Nurse on board right now, if we ended up with Atkinson I’d be disappointed

    but I’d probably have him 3rd as well…maybe he’s learned some nice things while being an assistant in GS like Mike Brown did

    This Frank should be on your list as well... which is what we should all be doing if we land Wemby and Nurse/Udoka.

    I don't think being nigerian will have anything to do with it. Him being close to their GM tho....

    I think we end up with Nurse. I don't see us beating out the Raptors for Udoka. We should have moved faster.

    I don't think ethnicity played a role when Ujiri hired the last coach. I'm not sure why there's any reason to believe it would play a role this time around.

    OP change the thread title to "Nurse fired; Rockets blah blah blah"

    before Clutch merges it with the other thread

    Context matters I guess. Ime wasn't fired for missing playoffs.
