Skiles will gun Villanueva right out of town if he has any chance. And with Hammond there, I think he'll get that chance - any Detroit exec would look unfavorably on his disinterest in defense and all-around lazy...

Wait, what am I saying?

I find it interesting that the NBA rarely gets any new blood in the coaching ranks. It seems like the same coaches are recycled again and again despite failing at their old jobs. It's really kind of annoying.

Never would have thought Carlisle was a good fit in Dallas. Maybe Cuban wants someone with absolutely no personality so that his personality can reign supreme. D'Antoni would be OK in Chi-town, but not NY. I just don't see New Yorkers really taking to him.

It happens that way in every major sport. Like with the Super Bowl, where both Belichick and Coughlin had been axed from their previous head coaching jobs.

Owners are clearly going for the "experience" angle. I'd be looking to hire a "winner." Past experience should indicate that, too. That's why I wouldn't hire Cola. Cola has won some games, but when the chips are down, do you really want Cola making the moves? Not me.

The Carlisle hiring hits the 3Pointer with me. I think its going to work out for them.

Reports: D'Antoni accepts offer to coach Knicks

More bad news for Chicago.

He had 2 years at 9 mil left on his contract with the Suns. He's getting 6 million per season for 4 seasons with the Knicks.

Let's see........from 4.5 million yearly with Phoenix to 6.0 Million yearly at NY.

Chicago, I would think, coulda had him for less since their situation is much better than that of the Knicks....

The owner of the Bulls is dumb...

Where are those "winners" I mean, NBA coaches earn, you see, 3-4 million per year or so. It is much much more than in anywere else. Eg. Euroleague winner Moskau CSKA pays to his coach 2mil and he is the highest paid there.

A conclusion: There is not enough good coaches for NBA. You may demand here whatever you want.
