Finch on the Outs?

[Pelicanidae]

Pacers are meeting candidates this week and next, a roster of interviews that so far has included former Grizzlies/Kings coach Dave Joerger and Pelicans assistant Chris Finch, sources tell ESPN. Joerger is a strong contender in process. Chauncey Billups gets a sit-down soon too.

Just letting everyone see the news. Probably doesn't deserve it's own thread but there ya go. Finch getting interviewed for the Pacers job.

I would be surprised if Finch is here next year regardless of how that job or any others plays out. After all the head coaches pick their chairs, prepare to see a ton of movement with the assistants.

With Rivers, Donovan and Nash out of the picture, who is left out there worth bringing in?

New to the party here.

I'm hoping either of the guys who coached the Nets last year.

Well, since you listed Nash as someone who was 'in the picture' and supposedly worth bringing in, despite having never been a HC before, then you have basically anyone left out there. Tons of interesting HC prospects with no HC experience: Becky Hammon, Darvin Ham, Ime Udoka, etc etc.

As for ex-HCs who are still on the market, technically there's still D'Antoni (not my fav pick), as well as Tyron Lue and Nate MacMillan.

Finch fixed Balls jumper. The only problem is that he can't fix inbetween the ears but Ball

Pretty sure it was the shooting coach, Fred Vinson, that fixed Ball's jumper, not the offensive co-ordinator.

At least, that's what Ball and Ingram have said whenever it's come up.

Got the names mixed up

Even when everyone was ragging Gentry, I said Chris Finch deserves some blame for the ragedness on that side of the court.

Gentry doesn't strike me as the "my way or the highway" type.

So Finch can go.
