Ugh, Hornacek. That would be a difficult team to root for. It would only be worse if we were suddenly coached by John Stockton or Karl Malone.
I'm actually surprised Stockton hasn't gotten much into coaching. He was a natural floor leader, a tenacious competitor, and ran a very successful system for a long time... I understand if he values his privacy, but even the lowest-key individuals (Larry Bird) couldn't stay away from the game totally. EDIT: Looks like he's coaching D2 women's college basketball in Montana... as an assistant.
As discussed here before, JVG and others just did not get renewal, not got fired. Kevin was the only one who got fired.
Jeff has said that he was fired. He can also say that he's a serpent being or had past lives. Doesn't make it true.
Yeah we have to seal the deal. The coaching market is dry after him. JVG will also attract good assistants.
Stockton coaches there because his daughter plays there. http://espn.go.com/espnw/news-commentary/article/11320280/hoopgurlz-laura-stockton-daughter-nba-legend-john-stockton-making-noise-own
Man we've needed a coach since May 27th 2011, the day before we hired Kevin Mchale as Head Coach. 5 years wasted. :grin:
