Oleh Kosel: I'm not a fan of how so many have confused the definition of a lame duck coach. In theory, a coach should only be considered of this variety if he has very little to no chance in returning the following season. Unless the Pelicans suffer through a terrible 2015-16 season, Monty Williams will not fall in this class. That said, we all know how intensely focused the media spotlight will be on this issue and it could serve as a distraction to the team. It might be best if Benson goes ahead and extends Monty by several years this off-season.
