I love listening to Avery talk. Not your normal N'awlins accent, though! Been a long time, maybe since he stopped coaching the Mavs. Might have to tune in the SEC network to catch a replay of that news conference.
The SEC coaching court is classing up.
Now we just need Donovan to stay in G-town. But I doubt he will.
Not an Avery fan here. Despite having the best overall talent in the NBA, he never could win it all. He even managed to blow the 2006 NBA Finals after taking a 3-1 lead over Dwayne Wade and the pre-LeBron James Miami Heat. The Mavs finally had to bring in veteran coach Rick Carlisle to finally get it done in 2011, even after LeBron had arrived.
So, are there any more "good" coaching vacancies still open? The reason I ask, of course, is trying to see if there are any openings that might be attractive to Coach White. Hopefully all is good for another year.
I think we're done here. I believe he's ours for another year.
The biggest one -- and it's a rumor floating out there -- is that Billy Donovan is again interested in the NBA and will leave Florida. If that happens, it could yet again cause a domino effect of coaching changes.
