Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 5682551, member: 6357"] These kind of hires rarely work out. Hop is a failed head coach. That’s been proven. And I have doubts about consistent top-end money promises from Melo coming in year after year. And then what happens when Kiyan graduates? I guess I can hope that Hop commmits to running an innovative, modern offense and hires smart assistants who know how to scheme and use analytics—and that he ditches the zone for aggressive man to man defense (and you’ll also need to hire experienced assistants to teach that). But I don’t think you can teach an old dog new tricks. A Hop hire, imo, would just be more of the same, but with a more charismatic and dynamic leader. If we can get high end talent, maybe it can work, but I think the ceiling will ultimately be limited. Lots of fans are deeply skeptical right now. [/QUOTE]
