I love Rudy, and I would want him to remain coach. But if he left, I like the ideas of either Donnie Nelson or Mike Dunleavy. I also wouldn't mind bringing in one of the recent former Suns coaches - Danny Ainge or Scott Skiles. Both has some success with that team (Ainge more than Skiles, I think). As much as Rockets fans might still hate Ainge from his days as a player, he's a pretty good coach. PJ Carlisimo or Dave Cowens are also available.
Van Gundy. You may not like what his style looks like, but it works. Get our team to play D, and we are a lock for 6th in the league. Van Gundy type D that is.
Jerry Sloan. Larry Brown, Jeff Van Gundy, Donnie Nelson, Pat Riley, George Karl. Larry Brown would be awesome.
1. John Thompson- The players would respect him 2. Calvin Murphy- Maybe he'd get Mobley to stop dribbling the ball through his legs for 20 seconds before he through up an unadvised shot..........Also we'd get to see his dumb suits on SportsCenter or TNT every night
I like and support Rudy. If he is fired then either Danny Ainge, P.J. Carlisimo, Isiah Thomas, or Ahmad Rashad. These guys are players coaches - well respected.... Any of these guys would instantly put us in the playoffs, and everyone would want to play for Ahmad, P.J, or Danny. Van Gundy and George Karl are O.K., but get too pointy headed with all the technical stuff-let's just smile and play basketball.... Oh and one more thing--Rashard is the greatest player in the NBA-a GOD I tell you Kobe Bryant is nothing -Just think if Rice is healthy we can waive Cato, and have a team that is not atjhletic-no legs, cna't jump-no rrebounds, plays no defense and jacks up 3's Hell we don't need a coach- hire Ahmad Rashad - he can play piano!!!!
