He's been an assistant under Popovich the entire Duncan era, yet is still only 40. Thats the type of long-time assistant you want to hire as a first time head coach, not one who is 55 before finally getting his first opportunity. Plus, with all the comparison between Monroe and Duncan, he would seem to know exactly how to develop Monroe, having been there since Duncan's rookie season. He also has coached Greg already in the Rookie game, and Greg spoke highly of him afterwards. Saying something like the coaches made a point to get the ball inside and play through the big men (Griffin, Cousins, Monroe). Greg seemed to know that was the right way to play, and so did Budenholzer. That was the game Cousins had 25 FGA's, but Wall had over 20 assists. Obviously a Rooke is not a normal game, but thats how I believe a team shoud always play - The big men should take the most shots, and the guards should have a high number of assists getting the big men those shots. So if thats any indication as to how Budenholzer could coach Stuckey and Monroe on offense, along Popovich's defense, I think he could be a great choice. I like Budenholzer.
