He had a ton of offers once he was forced out of Dallas.


Like I said, he would be the coach of the Hawks now if the penny pinching management group hadn't yanked an agreement to hire Larry Drew in-house for pennies.

I'm not complaining because that all led to Bud, but he would have been the coach in Atlanta and we'd be a pretty decent club. He's a regular ole NBA coach. There are a lot of them. He just also happens to have a unique style and personality that most NBA coaches don't that sets up well for college. We'll see if it works.

The Mavs changed GM's during his tenure and like what usually happens in those situations as soon as the GM gets the chance he fires the coach he didn't hire.

I witnessed the exact same thing happen here in Memphis after our best season in franchise history.
