He is pretty much their coach and GM. I am not sure how he handles with more powerful people above him. Second, I think the Mavs are looking 5 years out. They want to pick a coach who will grow with the team and when they are good again that coach has gone thru the ups and downs with the team now. I am not sure you can do that with Hurley.
With that being said, I think it would be an awesome hire. I am just expecting someone more low profile.
My opinion is that his frenetic, emotional style would quickly wear on professionals.
Reminds me a bit of the rah-rah college football coach who tries to move to the NFL, and his schtick gets old after a couple of years.
It's a long season.
