So who would be some potential coaching candidates to come in and take over?

Jeff Van Gundy (knows what its like to coach a superstar big man)
Mark Jackson
Avery Johnson
Tom Thibodeau (Boston Assistant)
Bernie Bickerstaff (Chicago Assistant)
Dwane Casey (Dallas Assistant)
Tim Grgurich (Denver Assistant)
Mike Budenholzer (Spurs Assistant)
Clifford Ray (Boston Assistant, helped developed Al and Dwight)
JB Bickerstaff (Wolves Assistant)
Jerry Sichting

You mean the defensive version of Flip Saunders??? Lol no, he would have us playing great defense, but i really dont think our guys would respond to Avery very well. He doesnt seem like the right guy to bring along our young talent

We need a coach that can teach these players how to win.

JVG is the best guy available, but I'm not certain he'd a great devlopment guy.
Casey was on the right track the first time, but didn't seem to have the support of management. No to Avery.
Mike Budenholzer of the Spurs would be the best option if we make a change, and hope "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is true.

Any coach, including Wittman, has to deal with the players they've been dealt, so i wouldn't be too quick to think ANY replacement is a guarentee without changes.
Flip response to Love wanting out, "He has no reason to be upset, you're either a part of the problem or a part of the solution"
