Being a assistant to a great coach doesn't automatically mean that assistant will be a great coach too. There's always a risk hiring a rookie and we have found that out.Pay served under Bellamy, from memory, you can't get a better coach to serve under.
Dib and co made a massive blunder in signing Pay, brought him in on hopes and dreams, but then again there were quite a few experienced coaches who passed up on coaching us based on our salary cap situation at the time. Our available choices weren't anything to get excited about at the time.
Agreed Dib also made it worse by pigeon holing himself into picking from coaches that had a prior connection to the club.
