I accidentally raised an old thread from the dead, but meant to post in here.

I think the fact Ward was hired as and associate coach (not an assistant) shows that Treliving had him on his radar before the Peters thing happened.

I could be wrong, but I think associate coaches get paid close to the same as head coaches and part of the reason teams hire them is to keep them in the fold to take over as head coach.
