When he was an assistant in NY 2001 they set an NBA record by holding 33 straight opponents under 100ppg In 14 seasons his teams have finished  in the top 10 in team defense 11 times The former NBA coaches that are out there really don't blow me away.  His peers praise him and say that he is deserving to be an NBA head coach, and  is good with player developement and is able to keep players respect and have a no nonsense attitude at the same time. If there is a better candidate out there I cant think of it. I like TT for a couple reasons, I don’t  know to much about him either than what I have read in his bio’s

When I watch C’s games, he seems to have the “firey attitude” that keeps players accountable on the defensive end.

When he was an assistant in NY 2001 they set an NBA record by holding 33 straight opponents under 100ppg

In 14 seasons his teams have finished  in the top 10 in team defense 11 times

The former NBA coaches that are out there really don’t blow me away. 

His peers praise him and say that he is deserving to be an NBA head coach, and  is good with player developement and is able to keep players respect and have a no nonsense attitude at the same time.

If there is a better candidate out there I cant think of it.

I agree, defense first.  From my standpoint, there's nothing more effective in winning big games or fun to watch in execution.  Ron Artestville - buckle your seatbeat.   Real Rob, I suppose the credential of a Ring and his availability triggered a consideration.  But why didn’t he get the nod over neophyte DelNegro, if, in fact, it came down to those two?

I'm with you a bit on available veteran coaches - lukewarm.  Avery Johnson:  don't doubt his abilities and dedication to a job, but that funny Louisiana voice might not resonate as well here in the northeast where he doesn't have a history.  Just a hunch.  Jeff Van Gundy:  knows defense, has coached 4 50-win teams, but doubt a third stint would be a charm in Philly with roster make-up.  Eddie Jordan:  was on a fine Rutgers team in '75 (with shooter Phil Sellers, coached by Tom Young) but is not an imposing personality nor defensive-minded enough in his coaching (as a DC blogger has mentioned).     Dannie,  Look forward to reading it.

The irony is Webber is off our books and they are still paying K.Thomas. But yes, Chandler would have to be moved first.

Part of the Thibedou intrigue is that I am not the biggest fan of the more established coaches who might be available right now.
