I thought he was a pretty good regular season coach in DAL, and WPG. Though, both teams seemed to improve even more after he left.

Bowness is a pretty damn good coach. He'll get a lot more out of the roster than Evason did.

Big fan of Bowness. Obviously a short term hire, but great guy that knows how to reset a team culture.

He’s going to pass away behind the bench.

Rick has awesome flow though.

He seems more like a team’s dad than their coach.

I think Bowness is awesome.

Just a caretaker coach for now. Assumed it would have been two or three years as is customary. Kind of surprised Bowness would take that, but Friedman put it succinctly.

I wonder how many BJ players were having crazy eye Evason nightmares while trying to get well rested. He has to be the most intense looking guy I've ever seen behind the bench.

Hopefully they get a new coach bump of good form for our sake.
