08:09 AM ET 03.09 | Chuck Person's stock may be on the rise. A source tells Sporting News that Person is expected to be a candidate for head coaching jobs next year, particularly the one in Indiana, where Person played six seasons. He also served as an assistant coach for the Pacers under Rick Carlisle and was interviewed as a candidate when Indiana fired Carlisle. The team eventually brought in Jim O'Brien. "He'd be the ideal fit," the source said. "A lot of it depends on how things shake out with Larry Bird and the front office. But Chuck is young and will bring a lot of energy. He will command the respect of players, he is really a good fit for a young team like that one."

Unless their owner is ready to spend to bring in legitimate star players it don't matter who coache's or manages the team... so tell the owner to quit fooling the fans by shuffling coaches. Coache's don't bring wins. Players do except for Miami where the players inaction is the coache's fault..
