Another Clips Assistant Coach Leaves

1
"It appears Rory White is out as an assistant with the Clips, as the NBDL's Dakota Wizards have hired him to be their head coach. This creates an opening along the bench for Mike Dunleavy, who currently lists Kim Hughes, Tony Brown, and Fred Vinson as assistants. The Clippers have traditionally gone with at least four. Quite a turnaround from last year's staff, as only Hughes and Vinson will return and Jim Eyen (Sacramento), Neal Meyer (Cleveland), and White will depart. Meyer has not officially been added to the Cavs' bench, but he has been taken off the Clippers' assistant list." We've heard that letting go of assistants has occurred with greater frequency this year as teams try to cut costs, but I can't help but feel as though part of last year's debacle is perhaps being attributed to the assistant staff. I'm not saying that attribution is well-deserved or not, but moving three out of five out the door, adding one (Brown) and trying to add another (Grgurich) seems less about cost cutting and more about shifting the focus in coaching....
