I like it. The team responded really well to him and actually played for each other in the playoffs. The group really seemed to gel together under his leadership #badboys.
In a lot of ways he reminds me of Jon Cooper (from a distance anyways). Calm, poised, strong communicator, teacher, not a screamer. I'm much happier having him behind the bench than some dinosaur that relies on head games with his players.
Ward is good head coach with the potential to be a great one in my eyes. Also, if it helps bring in Taylor Hall then all aboard.
