Why Woodson is a terrible move

Hiring Woodson to the staff, as if he is some savior to rescue the inept and stupid Mike D'Antoni, is a terrible move. The guy enjoyed a handful of marginally successful campaigns (he had one 50+ win season) with the Hawks and his accomplishments and abilities pale in the comparatively gargantuan shadow of Coach Mike D'Antoni.

I will always tell you of, and paraphrase poorly, Coach Mike D'Antoni's words about what constitutes a good defense; "when you score more points than the other team, you have played good defense". And even if this were not the most true thing in the universe, Mike Woodson is not the answer.

To forcibly interject a bum coach like Woodson is comical and insulting. I fear the plan is to allow D'Antoni to expire his contract and promote Woodson to head coach. Then this team would be perfect and very right for each other, the franchise with its fetishism for disorganized 8th seed basketball will have succeeded in bringing another potentially good thing down.
