I'll give this thread an "A" rating just for the links in the New York Daily News to nude photos of Blake Lively. Kudos!! :-D-
" one candidate was scared off when he correctly deduced that a member of McHale's staff, Chris Finch, is GM Daryl Morey's golden boy." Say what? Coaches don't like that? Bunch of old schoolers unwilling to see the greatness of this innovative concept of winning big.
I can only think that the person they are referring to had aspirations of being head coach one day and once he learn't that a D league coach was being groomed as McHale's successor he decided to move on a go else where. Chris Finch his good, I hope he lives up to expectations.
I don't know why the guy would care much even if Finch has a 100% written in stone guarantee to become the next Houston head coach (which he probably isn't). How many assistant coaches who later became head coaches got that head coaching job with the same team? Tom Thibodeau didn't get Doc Rivers' job, he got the Chicago job. Dwane Casey isn't getting the Mavs job, he's probably going to Toronto. You are auditioning not just for one head coach spot, but for all 30.
