I agree wholeheartedly, but I just don't think the triangle offense would be necessary now that they have a star PG.. Phil did a great job masking all of Old man Fisher's faults with the triangle, but he'd have no faults to hide with Nash at the helm. Obviously, the 7 second or less offense isn't the answer but i'm not so sure the triangle offense is the answer either.
I was being a bit dramatic when I said he's better than Phil.. I do think they should have hired Phil, but I still think the end result would have been the same (a loss in the WCF or Finals)
