Kahn said he felt as if the McHale evaluation process was not too long. He said he’d come in with preconceived notions on McHale and needed time to examine them.<\/p>\n

On whether there was truth to the story that McHale was not offered a contract, Kahn said that was correct<\/p>\n

On whether McHale told Kahn he was making a mistake, Kahn said he couldn’t recall him saying that<\/p>\n

He also said he’d met with Al Jefferson a couple weeks ago and spent 45 minutes discussing the McHale situation with the player.<\/p>\n

Says he’s mindful of what he describes as McHale’s great qualities as a communicator, as a person, as someone who gets the players to believe. Getting the players to buy in is a big part, Kahn said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At one point during the interview, Barreiro asked Kahn about Rob Moor.<\/div>\n
Barreiro: Is Rob Moor running the operation or are you?<\/div>\n
David Kahn: I am. Rob had absolutely no participation in this process. Zero. Zero.<\/div>\n
Barreiro: So the notion that he’s insinuating himself into this structure on the basketball side more than previously is untrue? <\/div>\n
Kahn: Since my arrival, basketball operations staff has had about 20 hours of meetings. In those 20 hours of meetings, Rob has been in the room for about 10 minutes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On coaching decision, Kahn says he hasn’t made a list but that it’s going to be a “very thorough process.” No one is lined up yet for the position. Kahn said he thinks it’s important to maintain the happy\/positive attitude the team had after last year’s coaching change so he thinks they need someone who can keep it an upbeat environment. <\/div>\n
