Quick evaluation of the Bulls Coaching Prospects
I did a pretty long write up on the Bulls coaching "candidates". The bottom line is:
1. Three way tie between Kimbo Slice, Phil Jackson, Calipari if he brings an illegal but still written guarantee that Lebron James is coming.
4. Van Gundy, because he's got personality.
5. Rick Pitino, because he gets people to willingly lay down for them even after he bones their wife.
6. Dwane Casey, because I wanted him 2 years ago, even though I think that ship has sailed and it'd be awkward now.
7. Sam Mitchell, because I can't find anything obviously wrong with him.
about 2 years ago

Hmm, I really don't know about Mitchell, but I'll take your word for it
Maybe he should be ahead of Casey, given his longer track record. The key to him, I think, is probably what sort of relationship he’s got with Bosh. It really starts and stops there. If he’s an asset in getting Bosh, I like him. If he’s not then I don’t know that he’s that differentiable from the rest. And because Casey has the awkward history of not actually getting the job the first time around.
Also, note that I don’t think any of the first five guys on the list are very realistic, so I guess I’m really choosing between Mitchell and Casey and hoping like hell they don’t fall for Scott, Frank or McHale.

It's amazing how many coaches under-perform their pythag w-l record.
Of course, Phil Jackson and Jerry Sloan consistently outperform it (the former more than the latter).
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
For this reason alone, I might not hate Maurice Cheeks.

Anybody hoping Jerry Sloan comes to the Bulls?
Its a loign shot, but they just got swept and maybe its time to move and come back home

That Kevin McHale quote is pretty damning

(didn't finish)
makes me think that McHale doesn’t meet the YaoPau criteria that i’ve adopted: 1) know what you’re doing 2) don’t be a jerk. That story means #1 likely isn’t true.
