Eh he’s more my 3rd or 4th option
Not a bad option.
We have plenty of guys with natural offensive talent so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a defense first coach helming the ship.
Way better than Brooks and about the same as Atkinson
I mean I don’t have any reason to dislike this hire but what’s the history on hiring defensive-minded coaches actually causing definitive improvement in the team’s defense?
If any coach was done a little dirty it was Vogel by the Lakers. They went and hired a guy just like him right after. Still traded Russ. That’s not enough for him to be the guy I want them to hire the most. But I don’t think we should shit on him being the hire either.
I’m surprised not 1 but 2 guys with a chip are considered the Rockets in their current state.
I really cant be too upset with any of these options. They are all substantial net positives
Isn’t Vogel the guy who plays players into the ground? Am i remembering this correctly?
Consider his tenure with the pacers more than the lakers.
