Who is Portland's Coach?

I turned on ESPN to watch the Thunder play the Blazers last night and was surprised to no longer see Nate McMillan on the sideline. I momentarily forgot that he was recently relieved of his duties in Portland. Much to my wonder, some character named Kaleb Canales was on the bench coaching his little heart out. I had never seen him, and had no clue who he was.

So what did I do? What everyone does when they don't know what something is: Hopped on my Internet machine, went to Google and typed in, "who is the coach of the Portland Trail Blazers." Google's initial answer was, "Best Guess for Portland Trail Blazers Coach is Nate McMillan." Great, Google, I didn't realize you were so dumb. Thanks for all the help, jerk.



Next, I visited http://en.wikipedia.org and typed in, "Portland Trail Blazers head coach." The search results did not include Kaleb Canales on the first two pages of results. Nice work, Wikipedia. Get with the times!

After tirelessly searching away for at least three more minutes, I finally found out who's drawing up plays during timeouts in Rip City: Kaleb Canales. Thereafter, all I could determine was that he worked as video guy for the team for awhile and is the NBA's first Mexican-American head coach.

Who are you, Kaleb Canales?
