Agreed Moose. If Lavin has the right "long term" hire, I think he'd favor that, but nabbing D'Antoni for a year and using the next year to find the next associate head coach would be great all around, I think.
I think D'Antoni would be a great college coach --- not having to deal with meddling owners or crybaby superstars who don't always try would change a lot for him I think...
