After studying the front-office operations of several top NBA teams, Taylor said he has decided upon a "more traditional" structure in which final decisions will be made by one person rather than the current committee of General Manager Jim Stack and assistant general managers Fred Hoiberg, Rob Babcock and Zarko Durisic.
He said he has interviewed and psychologically tested candidates both inside and outside the organization after asking other NBA teams for permission to talk to a number of people he would not specify. He said he has one more candidate to interview.
He said he hasn't decided if the new hire will inherit McHale's old job title or be given a different one.
"We're well into this thing," he said. "I'm meeting people who I only knew their names before."
From Zgoda's article in the Strib. Hat's off to Jerry for getting the solid (and obvious) follow up information about possible candidates from other teams that was left out of the PiPress article on the same subject a day before. That last quote is also nice to see. Outside eyes. Outside eyes.

Good Follow Up
I think it was really impressive for Pappa Glenn to do all this work with out rousing the attentions of the press. I wonder though, was that good stealth work by PG, or was it just lazy reporters that never sniffed it out, after all, this has been a topic (replacing McHale that is) for quite some time in Puppie land.
Will the Real Thor Please Stand Up ... ?
Taylor's a tough guy to read...
Sometimes, he’s brutally honest; other times, he’s so closed off that it makes a person question whether he’s actually doing what he says he is doing. I do think that he’s actually looking outside the organization, but it’s tough to know for sure.
