there are many camps
1) old timers who feel that strengthening ties to the past and can only help and that Woodie must surely know his stuff, considering the people who have coached him and who he has coached with
2) another group of old-timers who hate all things NBA and thus think that NBA playing/coaching experience is more of a negative than a positive, so he's bascially dropping in out of the sky after 41 years in the desert
3) Those that were hoping for a safer pick (Beard, Stevens, Musselman, etc.) and are folding their arms and saying "show me"
4) A few Trumpers (not all of them, mind you!) with concerns regarding pigmentation (I have already seen "the next Mike Davis, should make all of you snowflakes happy" from a poster or two)
5) Those who are glad that we are trying a different approach than with the last three hires and are hopeful, if not optimistic, to see it succeed
