The Denver Nuggets appointed Clyde Drexler an Assistant Coach and speculation is that "interim" coach Mike Evans days could be numbered. The Rocky Mountain News reports that, for now, Evans job seems safe but one has to wonder how long General Manager Kiki Vandeweghe will be patient if the Nuggets continue to be mediocre. "What I say is, 'I have total confidence in Mike,' " Vandeweghe said. "I explained that to Mike. Clyde's in here to help, and he's in here to learn. No other reason than that."

Yeah right, Kiki, just like you had total confidence in Dan Issel.
