If they’re going to give him an extension, then I hope we hire Brian Shaw. I don’t think I can take another year of Kenny as a coach. And I’d rather have an assistant that I actually want to see here.
On a happier note, I wish Kenny the best and hopefully he’ll land in a situation that’s good for him.

Its off topic, but one of te things I have owndered about with Shaq is aI think he was rumored to be int he run for our job the past TWO times we've had openings (Muss and Reggie), and we went so far as to intrerview him and then reject him in favor of a flimflam man last time out. Makes you wonder about his enthusiasm at coming back in for yet another try as a third choice, kind of liek being the last guy picked in a pick up game. Is he really going to feel the owners are behind him?
Seriously, if a guy was passed over not once but twice for such coaching stalwarts like Muss and Reggie, I don't know what to think of him. If he can't even be persuasive with the front office, how well would he do with the players? Is Shaw the good assistant who is not good enough to be the main guy?
Not actually worried about that aspect -- I think Shaw is extremely well thought of as a future head coach...by everybody except the Maloofs who true to their Vegas roots wanted flash over basketball substance.
The Maloofs have been claiming they have learned, have issued some generalized mea culpas. Guess we'll find out here soon enough.
2nd thought BTW: Shaw is still an assistant with a title contender and they probably won't be done with their season until June. Would we wait that long? Would he even want to interview in the midst of the playoff push? Same thing goes with Thibodeau actually.
Agree 100% about Shaw and have had the same concerns about timing. Unless the Lakers or Celtics get upset, it should be over a month before we could even start interviewing either option. Although, if the Kings have serious interest in Shaw, my guess is that Petrie is very familiar with him and his style after interviewing him twice and reportedly wanting to choose him.
All that, compounded with the fact they fired our former coach way too soon...at still the beginning part of the season too. But that's water under the bridge now, they can't go back. Should be an interesting next 2 months with our team...enjoy your trip over the pond Geoff, you'll be VERY busy when you get back!
