    JVG needs to remain on ABC as an analyst, cause there is not a better one in the business.

    No credible coach should touch that Dallas job. To have a monkey on your back like Cuban would get quite depressing.

    Haha, Cuban is a big problem but not the only problem a coach will think about before accepting the job.

    The current Dallas Team has a veteran team, that were supposed to be elite the past 4 years. Any new coach can not really implement their game plans on veterans like Jason Kidd, Dirk and Stackhouse and if he tried too hard, he will be called a dictator like Avery.

    Who wants a bunch of under achieving veterans that are mostly past their prime, the only good thing on that roster now is Brandon Bass and maybe Terry

    The Mavs and JVG would have been a match made in hell. That is a team full of soft players and having JVG,a coach who insists on his players being tough and strong minded would have been a recipe for disaster. Its good to see we arent the only ones who sees that. It would have been career suicide for him to go there.

    I think it's a little more damning that Del Harris declined the interview. I'm sure Harris is doing well for himself, but he certainly isn't in the limelight right now and he knows what goes down behind the scenes in dallas.
