On the rare instance that Leon Rose has made a public comment since taking over as team president he said that he hoped to have a head coach in place by mid-to-late July. So as we approach the last week of July it might be worth wondering just why it hasn’t happened.
Tom Thibodeau has been seen as the frontrunner for the job since Rose was put in place as team president March 1, the two having a long relationship from Rose’s time running CAA’s basketball division.
