here is the most accurate response posted about this or any other coaching search ever made on this board IMO...
From Hubbs in another thread:
"The bottom line for Butch is whether it's DeBord, Legg,
Napier. Young guy, old guy, it has to work. That's the judgement in all
of this is does it work? If a young, hot shot guy fails, then everyone
says Jones should have hired a veteran guy because the young one wasn't
ready and was in over his head. If the veteran guy fails then Jones took
the comfort route and wasn't willing to be aggressive and take a chance
on a young up and coming coach.
Win fans will love whoever it is. Lose, fans will hate whoever it is. Judgement is in the win-loss column."----Bent Hobbs
