Yes, it was very impressive what Miami accomplished, with the roster they had. One decision of Spoelstra's that I didn't like was not playing Herro in game 5, even though he was available.

I like Herro, but Herro coming off a broken wrist wasn't going to win this series for Miami. It's hard to rush a guy back from not playing to suddenly facing the pressure of the Finals. I trust that Spo judged the situation and decided what was best for the team.

Clearly their prior work together was a factor. Still pretty impressive to poach a guy from the Lakers staff.

How many assistants are we going to have?! It seems like we've hired 10 in the last week or two.

We have:

Head coach: Vogel
Lead Assistant: Young
Assistants: Fizdale, St Jean, Crawford, Pastorek

Sure. When you put it that way, it's not so bad.

We had like 10 under Monty.

I feel like Young is going to be the odd man out. Vogel didn't pick him and was a competitive with him for the HC job. I wonder whether they will mesh or not.

There is usually a worry about keeping a guy that was going for the same job and is liked by the players. It sometimes can be perceived as undermining the head coach at times.

Vogel didn’t pick Kidd either and they won a title together

No way. He's the highest paid assistant in the league. That matters.

Young will get a fair shot at it, and they'll move on next summer if it doesn't work out.

More importantly, he has Book in his corner. I think Vogel will motivated to embrace Young, not alienate him. I also think Young understands he has a good situation here. He is a hot name right now, and I don't think he is going to jeopardize that rep by rocking the boat here.

That's a good point. Young is a great guy, from all accounts too.
