Kuester is a very smart guy. So long as we surround him with a strong defensive staff, we should be ok.

would have preferred Thibodeax, but I can't argue with Kuester's credentials, nor his intelligence.
if this guy was around 20 years as an assistant, he simply wasn't good enough to be a headcoach in the past, and now he is? yeah right, cause he improved the lamest offense in the NBA, great...i dont like this hire at all
That's because you didn't do your homework on this one. Kuester was promoted to head coach faster that any coach I can remember ever. He took over from Rick Pitino at age 28. The guy simply wasn't ready for the job. He needed a lot more seasoning, so he went back and got it.Quote:

%95 of team huddles during Cavs games this season consisted of Kuester making strategic decisions and Mike Brown staring and saying nothing.
After game 1 of the magic series, Mike Brown decided to take back playcalling responsibilities, and the offense went down the shitter with him.
People will be shocked by how much more efficient the offense is going to be next season.
Rather have about 20 guys, but that still makes him better than 5.7 billion, right?
Two things:
1) I have faith in Kuester. I think he'll do a good job. This team has had offensive lulls since the Alternatorz in 2004. Even with other offensive coaches it didn't seem like we ever took advantage of a mismatch. Hopefully he'll improve both.
2) Glenn is right that Joe's quote could definitely be taken the wrong way.
Kuester has already shown he can command a huddle, and get even a megastar like LeBron to follow directions. That he can coach an NBA team on the sideline isn't really even a question.
Now, can he handle personalities, run a good practice or develop young players? That's a fair question. But on gamenight, I have total faith in him.
Well, I've one thing to say...
Rather him than Curry.
