I'm for Udoka as well.I'm hoping for Udoka.
I'd really prefer not to have a likely rapist as our coach
All those years Simmons was calling him that I thought he meant President of the United States... little did I know.Udoka is who I want for this reason, but in PBS I trust.
Becky Hammond may become a tremendous coach. I just can't imagine this would be a good situation to end up in, as it is a team that is teeting on collapse as it isView: https://twitter.com/highkin/status/1407460307606282244
Rumor is that Billups is Olshney's choice, Jody Allen would prefer Hammond, and nobody knows who the President wants.
I don't think Lawson is really being considered. She got the courtesy interview same as the current assistants because they like them and it's a nice thing to do for one of your former assistants. they've pretty clearly focused in on a couple of the assistants who would have been considered top contenders for any job.Am I wrong in assuming that if Hammond becomes Portland's coach before Boston makes a decision, it becomes less likely that Boston considers Kara Lawson?
I agree. I don't think that Lawson has every seriously been in the conversation.I don't think Lawson is really being considered.

How could she be. It is similar to Hammon a couple years ago before she had even sat on the Spurs front line of assistants instead seated in the second row next to the traveling secretary. Unless you are a former NBA player with a reputation in the league there are certain steps that you must first take to get into that group of coaches who gets hired each summer.I agree.

Ahem….Carlisle has already been coach there, so not sure he’d want go back. Plus Bird stepped down in 2017, and while he still has an advisory role, Prichard has the power there.
