I always liked Rudy T, but I thought it was a huge mistake to sign with the Lakers. Here is a guy who was a class act and already won two championships. Why would he want to take over that sinking ship? Granted, the Lakers are in line for a playoff spot, but it was clear (at least to me) that they weren't going to seriously contend for a championship without Shaq-Diesel. So who is next for the Lakers?
Larry Brown? (unlikely given that he said no to the knicks)
Coach K? more unlikely
Craig Esherick? Bingo
