Yeah, I remember questioning why take a chance with an unproven guy when there were relatively "sure bets" available.
At this point however, I couldn't care less if Peters was chosen for "the right reasons". What matters is they seem to have a good one. Heck, sometimes gut decisions are the best ones
I'm not quite as enchanted with Peters as many others, but it's mostly because I felt that any decent coach should have gotten us to the playoffs last season already, let alone this season with an even better roster. I really want to see if he can last here, and how he looks in the playoffs, because those what separates the pretty goods from the greats.
The above is not a criticism. It's just me being slow to form strong opinions.
I also actually expect him to be at least a decent playoff coach, and likely quite good if not excellent. We already know he's good at managing his own team, but in a long series a coach has to make important calls about when to change something because of what the other team is doing, and how.
I have a good feeling about his judgment though.
