Corey Gaines, come on down?
So USA Today writes that Gaines will be introduced as new head coach of the Phoenix Mercury while the Arizona Republic writes that he “plans to be at a news conference” introducing the new coach.
Diana seems to like the choice. From USA Today:
“This is the progression of coach Westhead leaving and keeping the same system and kind of the same philosophy,” said Mercury All-Star Diana Taurasi. “He played for him at LMU and at Denver, so he is very familiar with what coach did the last two years. His greatest strength is we relate well to him, we already know him and he knows the personnel that we have and that we need to be successful.
“I definitely think it was a great choice by (general manager) Ann (Myers Drysdale) and all the Phoenix organization.”
Gaines came highly recommended by former Mercury coach Paul Westhead. From the Republic:
“The last time I met with Robert Sarver in person, I told him that I thought Corey Gaines would be a terrific choice,” Westhead said Tuesday.
When I see the news come down officially, I’ll get to posting.
