Ready the Musselman Resume

There's been some good stuff written on True Hoop the past two days.

Ryan, remember when I was wondering aloud why teams fire the head coach only to replace him with the assistant coach. It doesn't rally the troops, it only turns out to be a joke. If you really want a philosophy change, maybe you should hire a new coach instead of replacing him with someone remarkably similar?

This article points out that the interim coaches aren't doing so hot. I'm more in favor of what the T-Wolves did in pushing the G.M. downstairs to work with the players he put together. At least it makes it a matter of accountability. I watched some of the Knicks and Kings game the other night. The Knicks scored 49 in the first quarter without seeing a single defensive rotation. So while the firing of the coach from Hangtime didn't surprise me, maybe the Kings should fire the G.M. instead.


What would it be like to work in a cubicle next to Kevin Garnett? This is a good read. Add this to the list of the differences between our workplaces and theirs.
