Hughes is the second person to be head coach of three different teams: Charlotte, Cleveland, and now San Antonio.

While he seems to be "one of the good ones", I wish there was some more new blood brought in. Look at the success of Thibault, SMS, and even Adams. I think new blood brings excitement.

If I am SASS right now, I would have tried to make a similar decision. Dan Hughes has proven he can win in the league and he has a familiarity with the players and teams throughout the league that a former NBA player likely would not have.
If I am SASS, I am getting fed up with losing, and I don't want to take another chance a la Dee Brown, I just want wins. Hughes will likely have Thomas as the focal point of the offense and I would assume there would be at least one more push to try to get Margo on board and try to implement a situation where she can be an effective post defender while having a role within the offense.
Marie and PeeWee are the people I am curious about at this point. I am not sure if either player is exactly the type of player that fits into the hard-core defensive mode or half court grind for points style that Dan Hughes has typically brought. I wonder if the team will be formed to fit Hughes or if Hughes will be required to fit the players.

Dan didn't leave the W.
The W left him.
I'm glad he's back.
Good luck to SASS!
