Even still ...
Why not identify several candidates with some diversity of thought and experience? If it was me, I'd want to interview a guy like Brooks. But I'd also want to talk with a smart broadcaster type (like Kenny Smith). I'd want a guy I thought did a good job at a previous stop, and perhaps got prematurely axed -- like Monty Williams. I'd want to talk with someone like David Blatt. I'd want to talk with a few of the hungry young'uns who have been successful in the D-League -- like Jordi Fernandez, Casey Hill, Nate Bjorkgren, or Nevada Smith.
This front office seems to reach a conclusion before they've given much thought to the question.
