I'm sold on Udoka. Apparently he is the architect of the Nets D this season. 

Just hire the guy and call it a day

I can't believe that it is down to Billups, Ham and Udoka. 

To me, Billups is the strongest, most forceful communicator of the 3.  His baggage may hold him back from getting the call, however. 

If not Billups, I would frankly take a shot with Kara Lawson.  She just seems to command presence.  I think she will hold guys accountable, and not be afraid to speak the truth to players, including stars.

It was in the bottom third in the NBA.

In the playoffs?

I doubt it

They made it tough when needed

What presence did she command?  The one player we know that she worked closely with, Marcus Smart, shot worse across the board with her mentoring him.  What accountability was there?  What truth did she speak?

Udoka is the obvious choice, as he'd bring Nia Long.

Who is Billups or Ham going to bring?

Priorities people.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Probably some mumbo jumbo about empowering him to be himself. Not what I want with someone coaching Smart

Safe to count you in the "don't trade TT" group based on the the Khloe factor?   ;)

I don’t know why Nate McMillan still has the interim tag for the Hawks, but if he still has it whenever their season ends, the Celtics should back up the proverbial Brinks truck for him.  I thought the Pacers were idiots to get rid of him last offseason, and his job with the Hawks (not to mention the Pacers’ failed season) bears that out.

He has done a masterful job of molding a team and got their minds focused as one .

Yeah …..I guess he has earned the HC job now for certain . 

He is an excellent example of a well rounded coach plus leader
