After the extension could Jamal Mosley be the longtime coach our franchise has been looking for kind of like how popovich is for the Spurs or Eric for the heat. What do you guys think?
Looking at Mosley as a Pop tenured coach is probably a bit premature. I’m sure most franchises would love that kind of continuity but dear Lord that’s rare. Even Coach Spo’s tenure is rare.
I’m just enjoying the upward swing and seeing the young guys buy in to what Mosley wants. May the good times roll, and if that time ends short of Spo’s tenure then so be it.

Yes because this is how you get that. You allow the coach to grow with the team and learn together. I would not at all be shocked to still be calling him coach at the end of this decade.

There’s two things with coach we don’t know yet:
1. How he adjusts in the playoffs
2. How will he be able to relate with players when his body starts to fade a little bit. I feel like that is such a big reason the players love him right now

It’s really unlikely just based on history. As you pointed out, there’s only 2 examples of this in the league currently but countless examples of coaches doing well early with young teams but a string of underwhelming seasons gets them canned. For example, Vogel with the pacers, Snyder with the jazz, fizz with the grizzlies, bud with the hawks and bucks, thibbs with the bulls, so many more to name.
Time will tell but it’s more about the relationship between coach and ownership than ability to coach imo.

He basically has a free pass this year IMO. Expectations will be real next year. I love Mose but we all know all it takes is one season of not meeting those expectations and usually the coach is the first one out, or at least on the hot seat. Look at Milwaukee for example.

All I hope is that he ends up being what I wanted Stan to be for us. Not just a great coach for a great team, but someone who helps lead multiple iterations of the team to deep playoff pushes. He doesn’t need to be our coach for 25+ years or anything, but I hope he lasts. Stan is our GOAT coach imo right now. I’m hoping Mose can surpass him.

So far I feel like there are a lot of comparisons to Doc Rivers back in the early 2000s, a player’s coach who knows the game inside and out. We need to see how he does in high-pressure decision-making situations.
