JB is a good guy. He made it clear that he didn't want to work for Kahn. I assume his father is interviewing simply to keep his name in the press. It's called "playing the game". Agents will tell their coaches to interview simply to keep their name circulating for the next job. Zgoda should know that--- and report that to those of you who are still in the dark.

Bill Laimbeer or Dave Joerger. Those 2 are the only viable candidates out there in my opinion. All others just want yet ANOTHER CHANCE to REVIVE their DEAD OR DECAYING careers with a team that has an EXCELLENT chance to excell. If the T-Wolves organization does'nt grant an interview to both of the above mentioned, I will lose respect for Kahn and Taylor. There is no such thing as " PRIORITY PLACEMENT" for RE-TREAD COACHES in the NBA!!!! Laimbeer and Joerger are CLIMBERS that have mainly WINS when in-charge of their teams and want and deserve a chance to be head coach in the NBA. They are not looking for a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th chance. They want their 1st chance to continue their winning ways at the next level!!!!!!!

Now that Detroit seems to have taken Frank, the Wolves should jump on Woodson. He did a good job in Atlanta in a similar situation. So, that said, my fervent belief is that Kahn will choose Nellie. He knows that his days are numbered here, so a 1-2 year circus freak show will be right up his alley. Then we'll start over AGAIN.

To all others suggesting the hiring of RETREADS: common sense is the least common of all senses!! You guys prove this statement to be TRUE!!

So, let's see. Pay a fired coach for 2 years. Pay a new coach and pay the coach's son an associate head coach salary. I think it's cute the way some people think Taylor would actually do that. The same Taylor that had Kahn sell draft picks to help cover Rambis' contract. Hire Nellie. He has shown time again he can take over a terrible team and turn it around. Everywhere he has gone his teams have gotten immediately better.

JB sucks. He couldn't do lick as a gopher and now he thinks he can coach?? He's no Jimmy Rogers. Maybe they should hire Ebi to coach.
