Already, there are four new coaches in place, and its not even May. Those qualify as a bizarrely fast set of coaching decisions by NBA teams. For comparison, last year, the first coach hired was Billy Donovan on May 1, and news of Roberto Osuna Jersey Mike Malones hiring, the last of the offseason, did not come in until June 15.But the Wizards (Scott Brooks), Nets (Kenny Atkinson), Suns (interim Earl Watson became permanent) and Timberwolves (Tom Thibodeau) have already filled their spots in what has been a competitive and accelerated hiring period. The Knicks, Lakers, Kings and Rockets are still coachle s, and may regret the more deliberate pace of their decisions.MORE: There are two coaches who might have a keen interest in the way these hirings are unfolding.Thats because, in the coming three days, its po sible that another team will find itself coachle s. The Raptors are ahead of the Pacers in their first-round series, 3-2, Josh Donaldson Jersey with a chance to close out Indiana on Friday. If the Pacers can hang on, theyll get a Game 7 on Sunday. Theres much at stake, because there has been talk that whomever of the two coaches in the series Dwane Casey of the Raptors and Frank Vogel of the Pacers fails to advance could be in employment trouble.Lets take Casey first. Hes done an outstanding job with Toronto, leading the Raps to a franchise-best 56 wins, the third straight year hes set a franchise record for wins (which is why he earned the ). But the Raptors have not translated succe s to the playoffs. They underperformed in their series against the Nets in 2014, losing in seven games, and were embarra sed in a sweep of the Wizards last postseason.Even before the playoffs began, general manager Masai Ujiri told reporters that Casey was in no jeopardy of losing his job, no matter what happens in this series. Coach Casey deserves to be the coach, 100 percent, Ujiri said, which was a decisive vote of confidence. But its always easier to deliver a vote of confidence before a third straight first-round playoff exit, especially when youre the No. 2 Toronto Blue Jays Jersey seed.MORE: Caseys defensive focus and use of his roster depth has helped immensely in Toronto. If what hes preaching is working in the regular season but not the playoffs, though, Ujiri at least will have to reconsider his strong backing of his coach.On the opposite bench, should the Pacers Frank Vogel not come up with back-to-back wins in this series, there has been speculation that he could be out of a job, too. That rumor first cropped up two years ago at this time, when Vogel was reportedly coaching for his job but eventually got the Pacers to the conference finals, then signed a contract extension the following fall.The notion of declining job security for Vogel has been around all year, after a 16-9 start was followed by a 7-13 stretch. Thats not nece sarily fair to Vogel, who has had to completely alter his teams style of play from that of a big, hard-nosed defensive bunch to that of a group of undersize speedsters almost overnight. It wasnt always smooth, but the fact that the Pacers managed 45 wins with a roster both small and thin is .Still, there are concerns over whether Vogel is the right guy to develop young big man Myles Turner and Toronto Blue Jays T-Shirts whether he can fully install a system that keeps up with the many ways the NBAs style of play is changing.MORE: In the background for both the Raptors and Pacers is that a limited field of available coaches has already been rummaged over. Thibodeau and Brooks were among the best available experienced coaches, and theyre gone. Atkinson has long been pegged as one of the best a sistant coaches in the league, and hes gone. Watson is more of a wildcard choice in Phoenix, and theres the po sibility that another hot commodity, Luke Walton, will want to either stay in Golden State or take the Lakers job.The pickings are going to be slim. Perhaps both Casey and Vogel are coaching to keep their current jobs this weekend. But dont forget Dalton Pompey Jersey that, before making any such decisions, the Raptors and Pacers will have to consider whether theres really anyone out there who would be an upgrade.
