Good hire, I kind of hoped he wouldn't get a look this year and be a possible replacement for Cal if next year goes bad

He wouldn't come here. He is a nba guy.

I think its amazing he's going to get another shot; his 4th shot.
He has a 431-389 career record over 11 seasons and a 49-39 mark in the playoffs.

Not very inspiring and that reminds me of a Cotton Fitzsimmons or Paul Westphal, who both just happened to have coached the Suns. All are a shade above .500

Dammit, I was hoping no one would give him a head coaching job and he would come to the Mavs as Jason Kidd's assistant. Kidd loves the guy, credits Vogel with changing how he deals with people, compared Vogel to "Ted Lasso."

College coaching requires a bit more effort.

Yep. I think a lot of folks that like/want him, have never taken a close look at his actual record. I have, and I'll pass.

Yeah, not worth the effort IMO with NIL and transfer portal and the best recruits usually leaving after one season. I'd never leave nba for college if nba teams kept giving me money.
