    I haven't really heard him much on tv. Any Drexleresque specifics or just a general bad vibe? All I remeber is him being spot on about Jordan Hill in summerleague.

    Let's hope this outside the box thinking by Morey pays off like some of his trades have. On paper, I don't know what could possibly sway them to McHale over Casey. I thought Casey was a perfect fit ... but who knows what happened in the interviews.

    I think this increases the chances that the offense won't change. Fitch will come in and run that. Hoping for some other very good assistants...

    McHale reminds me of a Doc Rivers or Phil Jackson type of coach. McHale will get the most out of the players mentally while Fitch will get the most out of them from an x's and o's stand point. I think we will see a lot of situations when a timeout is called, Mchale will be in the huddle motivating the players while Fiitch is drawing up the play.

    I hope Chris Finch is brought in as an assistant to keep Adelman's offense. Imagine the same offense with an improved Patterson, Hill, and hopefully Kanter or Biyombo.

    This has to be part of grooming Finch for the future.

    McHale should definetly help the young frontline in PP, Hill, Thabeet and possibly whomever they draft.

    My guess is that this exactly what DM had in mind while looking for the next head coach. I wonder if DM will be hiring all of McHale's assistant coaches.

    At least it's finally over. I didn't really care who took over.

    Just get me a damn center and a superstar.

    Meh... This certainly doesn't excite me, but it doesn't anger me either. I think we'll take a small step back in coaching talent, but player talent is still the problem.

    McHale will be good tank driver, so I approve.
