per Marcus:

"Flip Saunders would be the perfect candidate," Dutcher said. "He certainly knows the game of basketball. He played for me at Minnesota. He was on my staff at Minnesota. He was on J.D. Barnett's staff at Tulsa, and then he took the pro direction. I'm hard pressed to find anything negative about Flip."

"I think he would make a great assistant," said Tollackson, who played with Ryan Saunders in AAU and at the U. "He's young enough to relate to the players and recruit. He could run an NBA practice when he was 12 years old. He's extremely knowledgeable of the game. He's extremely energetic."

LOL; given the crappy writing, I thought Spencer was advocating Flip for an assistant's gig; LOL. Total non-sequitor between the first and second paragraphs
