but there is nothing objective anyone can point to and say "oh yeah he'll be good"

in reality, there is a bunch of circumstantial shit like

"playing for coach k"
"he was injured for a long time im sure he learned something"
"he went to really good schools"
yadda yadda yadda

one position is no more outlandish than the other, and on top of that he's assigning Guinness's idea to me ("insane")

i do think hiring McDonogh is the best move PHX has made in years but if they had made any other good moves they wouldnt be here now would they?
