We just have to trust Vlade's thought process and decision making. With no reports out there about any Vogel interviews, Vlade went with the next guy up and it just so happens that Joerger fell in our laps, someway somehow. Every coach has something you can nit pick about, but that's not what I want to do anymore. Been there, done that for too long. It's gotten us different coaches almost on a yearly basis. If Vlade wants Joerger and he is guaranteeing there will be no conflict between he and Vivek about personnel moves and things of that nature, then all there is left is to hold out hope that this is our long term solution to returning to prominence again.
On the bright side, he has obviously had years of not only dealing with meddling owners/dysfunction, but has managed to get the team to focus and produce through it. From the sounds of it, this new steadier Kings might actually be a stroll in the park in comparison.
Wallace (the GM who sought and received permission from the Grizz to interview for our open GM slot, turns around less than a month later and cites 'lack of commitment to the organization' on Joerger's part when he asks to do THE SAME THING.

The not playing young players are a combo of injury (J.Adams/J.Martin) and the fact most of them were not good enough for the NBA e.g Jarnell Stokes/Russ Smith and whoever else. He played JaMycal Green and Martin got plenty of time as well. Add to the fact they had a short window due to Z-Bo declining to win a title with Gasol-Z-Bo-Conley and he had little choice but your point is taken he's yet to show that side of his coaching ability or lack off. That is a big question mark right now but I'm sure in his D-League/CBA days he was only working with developing type players and won with them.
End of the day out of all the coaches out there right now he's the only one to make the playoffs all of the last 3 years and in the last one did it with a 28 man roster, there right now is no one better on the market including Frank Vogel/Kevin McHale/Blatt (who would all be fine as well).

A good young players coach that has had success with major head cases in the past? Oh and who also runs the style of basketball we want and helped develop a very good defensive team in Memphis? Vlade gets this done and he's a genius. Rumors are he was in contact with us weeks ago... Could have been the guy all along.
One question...
How you gonna stop Vlad's plan?

Yeah after seeing that tweet about him meeting with Vivek. I picture Joerger hanging around Vlade, talking about defense, an offense that fits our players, how to utilize Cousins etc.
Then I can't help imagining Vivek getting in there and blowing the whole thing up. Still talking about NBA 3.0, 4 on 5 defense and how his coaching on his daughters team is still considered one of the best coaching performances since people started throwing coconuts into milk crates a hundred years ago.
