Sonics Hire PJ - We talked about this in April

Today the Sonics continued the remodeling of their franchise in the ilk of the San Antonio Spurs. Last April I sat down with PJ and talked about what he has learned in San Antonio and what he can implement if he gets a head coaching job.

Quick Thought on the Hire: I like PJ. He is a very personable individual who will bring some energy to the franchise. In his last previous coaching stints at Seton Hall and in the NBA he was known as a yeller. That will not work with this team as it is currently built. However, I think it is short sighted to assume PJ has not grown or evolved from his past experiences and knowledge he gained at San Antonio. The key moments of his tenure will be when the pressure mounts does he revert back or in fact has he evolved. PJ is bright and bright people usually evolve.

On a personal note if I was an NBA team anywhere Dwane Casey would be on the top of my list. He is going to be a terrific head coach when he gets his next shot.
