Should Dumars consider Dave Cowens?
When Joe Dumars canned Michael Curry, he gave himself an unofficial deadline of a week to settle on a new coach. Well, today's the day, and as this post goes to press, there's still a vacancy at the end of the bench. Doug Collins backed out, Avery Johnson seems to want too much money and Tom...
Polling GSoM: Which "hoops quad" will be the kings of Northern California in 2k9-2k10?
There's a new coach in Northern California. He's an oldie, but goodie. 5-time All-Star Paul Westphal will be named the head coach of the Sacramento Kings later today.

Losing Eddie Jordan Sucks, But It Probably Doesn't Matter
As Amick writes today, Eddie Jordan has really been the odds-on favorite for the Kings coaching job since, oh, December.

Burning Boston Celtics Questions
Green Bandwagon is in serious danger of going from being an "Unofficial Boston Celtics blog" to "Officially not a Boston Celtics Blog". In my defense it has been a slow summer. No summer league team. No Olympians. And not that I'm complaining, no major trades, depending upon how you feel about Bill...
All Quiet on the Coaching Front?
With all of the James Posey talk I haven't heard too much about Tom Thibodeau. Thankfully the NBA works a lot like the NFL, as teams don't wait for coaches from elite teams. Can we expect another year from Thibodeau? And how about Clifford Ray for that matter? Losing one or both would not be cool....
Your Friday coaching search update
The honors today go to Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald: A league insider believes the Bulls are comfortable choosing between D'Antoni and Johnson, two former NBA coach of the year winners. If neither works out, they'll likely wait to talk to Boston assistant Tom Thibodeau and Detroit assistant...
