Ball Don't Lie —
... The Postmen: "No one knows, apparently except John Paxson and Jerry Reinsdorf and Del Negro himself. The one thing we do know about Del Negro
is that he’s never coached anywhere before. He has literally no
experience. Since he was promoted from his radio gig in Phoenix, he’s

Del Negro: Is This A Bad Joke?
zonersports.com 6/9/2008 — Earlier KG had spoke of the preparedness of Dwane Casey. Casey has a ton of experience, both as a Head Coach and an assistant. You’d think he’d be the perfect guy to bring in to lead a young ballclub. Or what of Tom Thibadeau? Guess what? Vinny Del Negro isn’t going anywhere.

Vinny Has Some Bevington In Him
zonersports.com 6/11/2008 — Certainly I am a man-child. Farting is still exceedingly funny to me. Also funny–people trying to use words they don’t really understand. Malaprops. And double entendres. Vinny Del Negro hit the trifecta there, both during his presser and a post-presser interview on WSCR-AM. He spoke about “presenting his package”, and not once but twice mentioned “predeceived notions”. This could be fun, Chicago.
