    Finally! One of the best coaches from Europe may get his chance as a head coach in the NBA. He left Europe, where he was like analogue to Pop in NBA, with guaranteed contract & good money... just to work as a consultant for Mike Brown (Lakers), and then later as assistant coach for the Spurs. This man deserves it!

    Glad he finally gets a shot at the NBA but talent > coaching in this league and the Charlotte FO doesn't have a clue.

    I'm happy for Messina but man the Hornets...not exactly the best organization to join. He's not in a position to be picky of course, but still...

    Especially so, if the Hornets do a complete reset and trade away Kemba.

    Most hyped up coach. Let’s see if he does anything..... not all of Pops dudes do well.

    Mark Jackson should get the Knicks job.

    I would only coach this team if:
    1. MJ backs off
    2. let's me have a say in who to draft
    3. they trade pretty much everyone
    4. thus get some younger players and picks
    5. in which I have a say in as well.

    The coach does have a lot of say over what talent they get though...or at least he should.

    I also think good coaching can make some players look better than they are.

    Y'all have been crying for this bozo to get a job for like 10 years now. "He's the BEST OFFENSIVE GENIUS EVER, WAH, WAH, WAH" - meh.

    Really sad thing. He is back to Europe, signed 3-year contract with Olimpia Milano (Euroleague) team.
