I mean, this guy barely registered a blip on the radar for anyone. SB Nation's St. John's blog, Rumble in the Garden was the only place I even saw where people mentioned he was out of the race. It was just a forgone conclusion. And no one -- NO ONE -- thought he was in the running with Brian Shaw and Quin Snyder. Shoot, minutes before Bonnell broke the news, Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, superhero NBA rumor discoverer had this breaking news:
Nate McMillan and Brian Shaw have been informed that they're no longer candidates for Charlotte, sources tell Y! Quin Snyder is frontrunner.
