They will obviously say that it was Henny... Personally this is a company hire above robs say so. He looked uncomfortable in the presser. The jury is out on this one. Hopefully it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Thibs was ever really in the mix for the record. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 456 Report post Posted May 29, 2015 I'm sure there were at least some round table discussions about Thibs and Brooks. With Henny talking to Skiles over the last 2 weeks it may just be that he decided that Skiles is the way to go and closed the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeHateMe 697 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 It appears that Henny made the decision based on basketball rather than pressure from the owners and Alex. Great press conference! Exactly. Contrary to what all the garbage that was said, this was Rob's pick. I was trying to say for the past couple of day that ownership has given Rob full reign over every decision. No reason to think this was any different. The only people saying this was a company hire are those that don't like Skiles and refuse to believe their beloved Rob would do something they don't agree with. This hire makes sense for so many different reasons. I'm really excited. Time to get some grit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voodoo Man 99 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 "Gritty, Gutty" should be our slogan next season. Since Skiles has a Bruce Willis look about him, I would suggest "Play Hard". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a strong possibility we were just leverage so he could get $$$. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Since Skiles has a Bruce Willis look about him, I would suggest "Play Hard". I'm starting to think Rob has a fetish for bald ex point guards as coaches. In b4 Skiles is replaced by Sam Cassell/Kenny Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
