I'm not really all to familiar with him (or any coach besides Phil Jackson) due to my noob knowledge with basketball, but all I've heard are good things so.. nice. :)
he's a former player, played with the Spurs for the most part of his career, i think also played for Golden State and PHX, he was a good shooter, and decent defense.. nothing too great, wore #15.
No offense to Del Negro, but that is major step back from almost re-hiring Doug Collins, a proven head coach.
i agree MK, that.. or why not try for Flip Saunders? sure he cant make it to the big game, but he has winning teams.
