Alternatives for head coach...

[Kori Ellis]

Am I the only one aware of the rumour that once Duncan/Pop retire, Bill Self will take over? Because it's been going for awhile and pretty much everybody thinks it's highly credible.

I'm pretty sure you aren't the only one that is aware of it. There's been articles in the paper about it periodically over the last few years because of the Self-Buford connection.

At least people started naming some people who were actually available.

I don't think Scott Brooks is available....

Mike Brown leaving Cleveland is like Pop leaving the Spurs in '02 (after some bad playoff years but Duncan at his peak)

I think PJ Carlisimo is the greatest assistant coach in the history of the NBA... but I wouldn't really want him as head coach.

I'd like Quin Snyder of the Austin Toros. There's been a number of articles about him. If there was any way to get him as head coach with PJ helping him out, I'd be happy.

I see the question posed a lot but think it is asked out of context. A lot times I see attaching the 4 ring argument when asking about another head coach or assistant coming in here....like, "well he hasn't coached a team to 4 les", ect... But thats not exactly a good way to look at things, it'd be like saying Doc rivers is better than Jerry Sloan because he's coached a team to a le. Way off logic.

Apples and Oranges. The only thing "way off logic" here is your logic.

Seriously? I'd feel conflicted about that if it actually happened; he seems like a good coach, but him leaving Kansas would leave a coaching vacancy that might pull Turgeon (Kansas alum) away from Texas A&M. Of course there's always a chance they go after someone else, but I'd hate the risk of losing Turgeon.

I just want Pop to get his head out of his ass and actually coach again.

Honestly, I would love to have PJ as an assistant again. He had a great ability at keeping Pop humbled and on track. (about the only person that I know that Pop would actualy listen to)
