Who really cares anymore?
NBA head coaches are almost completely fungible. The players make too much money and have too much influence (quietly driven by Stern, IMO) for coaches to really make a big difference anymore.
Guys like Tom Thibodoux will be great for a season or two, but most of them eventually get driven out as well once their players start to succeed.
The NBA really is a bit of a poison league right now. Stern has done everything he could over the last 2 decades do build a league built around individual players and now those individual players run the asylum, so to speak. Ultimately, I'm not sure I care who ends up coaching LA when it gets right down to it. I don't think anyone's likely to make a legitimate difference there.
