RC played (and coached) with Bird and was an assistant to Chuck Daly. And also played with McHale and Bill Walton and Parrish. Coached Reggie Miller. Played in college with Ralph Sampson? And obviously Dirk, Kidd and now Luka. Pretty great run he’s had.

Stott's is too much like RC
Way to laid back and doesn't put a lot of stock in defense.
His offense is more ISO and Blazers fans have pretty much grown tired of it.
My preference off that list would be either Casey or Mosely. Casey did a great job in Toronto despite coming up short in the playoffs. He always seemed to have them playing hard especially defensively.
He just couldn't get past LeBron......
I think a more defensive oriented coach would be nice change of pace for this franchise if they ever moved away from RC .
For far too many years we have been stuck with bad defensive teams and having someone who could change the identity of this franchise to me more hard nosed/tough minded able to compete on both ends of the floor for once would be awesome IMO.
