Don't do it.  They won't do it.  No, wait.  This is the Woofies...  They'll do it.

Its 4 pics over 7 years.  You gotta figure the Rockets will be very good with Jimmy Butler, so you figure the first couple of the Rocket's first round picks will be at the bottom of the draft.

They need the right kind of veteran leadership and contributions to go with KAT and Wiggins - not more guys who are even younger and more immature than they are.

WOW just read the timberwolves fired Tibs!!!!!!!! sounds like fred Hoiberg might be next in line!

Good for Glen Taylor!  It won't be easy for him to write out that severance check.

Big egos - players, coaches, whoever - spoil the experience for many sports fans.  Some may get off on the drama, but I don't.

Maybe.  I know the NBA is actively trying to promote female coaches.  In theory sex alone shouldn't disqualify a woman from this position, but as a point of practice, NBA players decide for themselves who they will play for and who they won't.  (Bye-bye, Tibs.)  If players reject the first female head coach (Reeves), Taylor would have even more egg on his face.  I'll bet he makes a safe choice.
