Cast a wide net.
Interview everyone you can/want, including those others recommend.
This is the sign of a productive front office.
Let’s avoid another Kenny Atkinson situation
This is the direction the team needs to go. There’s good tenured NBA HC’s in the league but it’s time to emulate the Jazz with Will Hardy, OKC with Mark Daigneault, Rockets with Ime Udoka, etc. if you want to maximize the team’s output.
Jordi Fernandez is the clear standout candidate.
GM survey had him clear cut best assistant coach, comes from a pure coaching background, has experience coaching NBA stars (Shai, RJ Barrett) and difficult personalities (Brooks). Also has some videos on youtube you can watch where his personality comes across and he doesn’t look like some push over.
