Thompson Promoted To New York/New York 13th In Lottery |
The head coach has to pick his people, same as Trotz, same as Doug Weight even if he made poor choices. Thompson finished only four over, he had to know about Hamilton before he took the job in Bridgeport. If Darche forced this hire it's another mistake.
#NYC #NYI #isles Capuano inherited his staff/Weight, inherited Capuano's staff as an interim coach. As bad as Weight's choices were with no experience that is what Deboer must have, not two inherited guys. If this is to keep Thompson because he did not want Hamilton, he can quit.

#NYC #NYI #isles Brent Thompson won a division in 2011-12 and was promoted to New York. He lasted two years with Capuano 12-13-14 (bad years) and went back to Bridgeport for seven more years. Rocky Thompson was only four games over .500
