Worst kept secret ever!

I think I'm one of the few that's happy about this. Yes, he's inexperienced. Yes, this could potentially go wrong.

But we FINALLY have someone that is going to emphasize defense and play the youth. The players really seem to respect him, and all the qualities/quotes I've heard so far are everything we need so I'm cautiously very optimistic.

edited to add; 3 yrs 2.5 mil with a 4th team option? Is that a normal rookie coach contract or is that a really good deal?

On the otherhand, would brown now in perspective, would he have handled things different understanding how good he really had things and how he could of gone down in history as an even better coach...

Can't say- but it's all in this forum. We watched pretty close. But Brown's ego just tripped out. There is the health issue. But Brown was all over the place, saying Knicks would be his dream job. Finally Mr. D had enough and bought him out.

I sure would like to know what you read about Curry playing youth. Darn, I started a thread on the subject and I can't find anyone who can show me an article that says Curry is prone to playing young guys.

My feeling doesn't come from Curry being prone to playing young guys; it comes from Joe D being prone to, and the fact that i think Curry will do everything Joe says.

Try to find an article that says that Curry breaths air.

Have you found one that says he won't?

Latest I heard is we will play the guys that want it more. He says he never wants to leave a game knowing the other team wanted it more. He says get over the young vs old conflict.

I'm a little uncomfortable about these obvious statements...aren't you?

Or maybe Dumars hired a guy who agrees with his team vision. Its possible at least that Dumars would want a coach like that, I would think.
