OKC Thunder 2014 - 2015

If Donovan is the guy, or any college coach, why would Presti or that coach be waiting? I guess it's possible that they haven't been able to get together on the terms, but I can't imagine that they'd be so far off as to hold it up.

I assume Presti is waiting for the playoffs to be over so he can talk to some NBA guys, but why do that if Donovan is his top choice?

Yeah, agree with ya. Brian W was just on top of the Brooks deal more than most and has seemed to be pushing the Billy D rumor. Makes sense they are waiting for access to NBA prospects. Or waiting for Ollie's buyout to drop $1 mill on 6-1..ha.

That would really suck for any school if they wait until 6/1 to hire a college coach. Outside of any buyout considerations, a school would have to find a new coach and re-recruit signees or find replacements for any players who de-commit all in just a few weeks before the fall semester starts. Not fun.

I could be wrong, but this may be another case of the media just not really knowing what's going on with the Thunder. I don't think you can ever really know what they're going to do until they do it. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they hire someone that no one had mentioned before it happens.

Or a very fringe candidate - Alvin Gentry or someone like that who has been mentioned but doesn't seem to be on the "hot" list.
