Mavericks hire Dusty May as next Head Coach

[KillerLeft]

Adrian Griffin and Willie Green are certainly names....

Bad ones to be fair. Can't say I liked anything they did in their time as coaches.

I'm not really familiar with either of their track records, but I'll point out that the skillsets required to be a good head coach are much more extensive than what it takes to be a good assistant coach. That's when things like dealing with ownership, the media, managing egos, exuding professionalism and calm, etc, all take on supreme importance, I'd think. Plus, I think it's semi-safe to assume these two have already done the assistant coach thing at a standout level since they were both given the chance at one time to try their hand at the big seat. 

This isn't meant as support for either, necessarily, because I don't have strong feelings about them. I do think it's a good sign that all involved have identified high-level NBA coaching experience as something May will need at his side as he begins this new challenge. I was a little worried we'd start hearing about coaches coming with him from Michigan to take those seats.
