Fratello has been to the play-offs with 3 different teams and isn't married to a particular style of offense. Paul Silas would be interesting, especially for the young bigs. If Rudy T is healthy and wants to return to the bench, he'd be a good choice. I don't think Jeff Van Gundy would be a good fit for the roster, and he seems not to want to come back right away, but you should at least talk to somebody with his credentials instead of... Eric Snow? 2) Jackson was sitting on the bench and Reinsdorf did the path of least resistance. HOWEVER, Jackson had been a CBA head coach, won a title there and was coach of the year, so there were still more credentials for head coaching than a lot of these candidates. And they got a little lucky. And boy did they howl when they had to pay Phil, after he'd won for them. 1) I’d like them to talk to more than one.
