Poaching the Coaching: Dwane Casey Steps Closer to Philly
Posted by Rob Mahoney on May 28, 2009 under News | 
Mavs assistant Dwane Casey netted a second interview for the head coaching job with the Philadelphia 76ers, and while I’m happy for a Mavs alum to draw some attention, I’d really hate to see him go. The entire coaching staff, whether it’s Casey or Terry Stotts or Mario Elie, is about as good as you can ask for, and any hit to that posse would be a sizable one.
But Casey in particular, as Tom Ziller points out at FanHouse, has all the chops to be a top dog. He was unfairly denied his proper opportunity, and Rick Carlisle was smart enough to recognize that when filling out his staff. I wouldn’t dare wish for the same again — here’s to wishing for the best for Casey and the best for the Mavs…and that those two outcomes are one in the same.
