Hmmm, Mike Malone just joined GSW on Jackson's staff. There's movement everywhere and what is BC doing? Is he in a cave somewhere plotting to take over the world? I understand that he needs to be prudent in his moves. However, the lack of movement makes one wonder. Maybe I'm just too antsy.

It's not like experience is the only thing that separates the ability of coaches. If it was the only factor, then everything else would go out the window.
I wanted Bryan gone primarily because he hired Jay, and I feel for a "yes man" this job was way over his head. I am willing to give fresh coaches a shot till we find one that is good, and has a unique perspective that adds character to our franchise.

I think Triano, like any other coach, has his strengths and weaknesses. Triano, I think, would do better with more veteran group that are more self starters. He's not a guy that is good at trying to motivate unmotivated players.Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!

I will be honest, I haven't really taken the time to read the other comments in this thread. I just wanted to say that I don't really know a lot about Casey, but watching the Mavs recently it seems like they are doing a lot of good things with their organization. If Casey can bring some of what we have been watching the last few weeks, then I would be very interested in him coaching the Raps.
Another point. I hope that Davis, DeRozan, Johnson, Johnson, Bayless, and especially Bargnani have been watching the Conference Finals, and the NBA Finals. Say what you will about Mark Cuban, but he has built a first rate organization in Dallas. I realize that there is a big difference between playoff basketball and the regular season, but watching the Mavs players has been really something. They have great ball movement, they know their roles, hustle on every single play, and generally play very smart basketball. Another thing, cliche as it sounds, these guys do not give up. They are playing a team stacked with superstars, and have figured out a way to stay competitive, which is an accomplishment in and of itself.
I am not turning into a Mavs fan lol, but even the experience that fans enjoy at AA Centre seems to be first rate. Combine that with 11 straight 50 win seasons, and I view Dallas as an organization that Colangelo should be looking at very closely when building this franchise.
I realize the Mavs obtained a Hall of Fame player, while giving up Robert Traylor (RIP), and that is a 1 sided trade that doesnt happen every day...
Nevertheless, if Casey helps us in that direction... I say hire him.

I keep hearing that Jay was let go because we need someone with experience and tenure (not necessarily from you). I personally disagree with this, in my mind it was because he was a bad coach.

I would agree with apollo that Casey doesn't really seem to fit the "experienced" moniker that we imply in Coangelo's statements. However, I don't see Coangelo firing Jay without already having the guy he wants in place. It just doesn't make any sense to get rid of Jay if you can't bring in anything better.
The only thing I can think of is that Coangelo had a number of guys he wanted for the job and that he came to some sort of an unofficial agreement w/ Casey to be announced after the Mavs season was over. If Coangelo just fired Triano before what will be potentionally a lock out season and then hires a guy who is very similar in terms of experience and pay, then it just seems like a bonehead play. And all tihngs considered I don't think Coangelo is a bonehead."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014
