Mavericks hire Dusty May as next Head Coach

[Winter]

When you are an assistant, how do you really assess their performance from the outside? Im not sure team performance sits on assistant coaches like it does head coaches in terms of what they bring. Think the assessment process is quite different, and requires internal insight.

All we have as fans are the facts that these coaches were rehired as assistants... and in some case were well thought-of enough as assistants to be interviewed for head coaching jobs. Even if they weren't initially successful as head coaches, they were highly regarded enough as assistants to be the right candidate for a head-coaching position.
