I read that the Celtics haven't even narrowed it down to a bunch of finalists. If so, guys like Felger are just flapping their lips.

Becky Hammond being considered for the Blazers' coaching gig.
Didn't think she'd leave the Spurs' sideline (thought she's being groomed to be Pop's successor).
If she's open to head coach elsewhere, hope Brad does his due diligence on her.

Would be good to have this over sooner rather than later. A new coach could really use the extra time to get started, planning, catching up with the team over the summer, finding the right assistant coaches, etc. Preparation time is essential!!

Whoever the coach is, he/she has got to command the huddle. More stuff about how dysfuntional the team was this year (and Kyrie wasn't even on it!!).
Not sure what's going on, but the coach needs to be the voice that players listen to. No weak, soft spoken push over coach.

Maybe Ime Udoka?

Woj is saying we are finalizing a deal to make Ime Udoka our new head coach.

Yep I'm happy with the final choice. Not my first choice but still a good option. Learnt under Pops, already built a relationship with Tatum & Brown, but also knows what it takes to win a championship as he did that in 2014 with the Spurs.

Not happy with this signing at all unless it was the Jay's first choice, and I have doubts it was. I don't think there's tons of players in the league just dying to play for this guy.

The only thing I know about him is that he worked under Pop - which should be a good thing.
As far a recruiting players, more and more that seems to be done by the star players of a team.
I don't really have any gut reaction but I'm excite to see what he brings.

Udoka is bringing with him a long time Spurs assistant, Will Hardy. Like Udoka, Hardy comes with praise around the league as an up and coming coach.

Udoka was an assistant on the Team USA which the Jays were on, so it's certainly possible that they do have a very positive feeling about him. At the very least he's not an unknown to them, and from what we are told, Brad consulted them.
