League Name Change and Manager Candidates

Apparently, the slogan "World Hoops Federation" is closely tied to FIBA. They don't actually use it anywhere, but I never want my league to be mistaken for boring international basketball that nobody cares about.

So ... from here on out the World Basketball Federation will be known as the New Hoops Alliace, or the NHA. There are plenty of organizations that go by the initials of NHA, but none that mattered enough to end up suing me like the World Wildlife Foundation did to the World Wrestling Federation.

Now that we have that taken care of, here is my list of the 10 coach/manager candidates I would like to see lead the 10 different NHA teams.

Bill Lambier: The Big Flopper has coaching experience in the WNBA and will bring the Pistons "Bad Boy" style of play to the NHA.

Kim Kardashian: From what I've heard, Kim Kardashian is "the cat's meow" with professional athletes, as evidenced by the fact that she's dating Reggie Bush.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Kareem can bring charisma and parts of the Lakers "showtime" attitude to the NHA, even if he is a big ninny.

Erin Andrews: This might not be a good idea. I wouldn't get much work done if Erin Andrews was around.

Kevin McHale: The chance to battle Kareem and Lambier again would be classic, and he's soon going to be out of work.

Henry Winkler: Who wouldn't want to play for The Fonz?

Muggsy Bogues: Making it to the NBA at 5'3" deserves more recognition and he's more than welcome in the NHA.

Bill Murray: A continuation of his role in Space Jam will give the charismatic Murray a chance to shine.

Aito Garcia Reneses: The Spanish coach credited with finding Pau Gasol and Ricky Rubio, Reneses would bring a little international flavor (and hatred) to the NHA.

Bill Simmons: While Simmons may not be able to secure the GM position with the Minnesota Timberwolves, he can begin building his resume as a manager with the NHA. And yes, I'll allow him to write about the whole experience.
