	I don't know much about Engelland, Ramos, but I'm glad someone replied
to the story. I forgot about it, but wanted to make some points. (pun
intended)
	The core of this article was the beefing up of the Nuggets coaching
staff. I'd made a point earlier in the summer about the NFL and their
army of coaches; for every single skill, it seems.
	Don't the Celtics need to add someone; I like Tiny Archibald, for the
job, who can coach the point guard (s?).
	I think we are missing the boat here. If we expect to change the
offense, why don't we bring in an expert/teacher to help develop it? We
got a lot of mileage out of Dick Harter, for the defense, shouldn't we
be looking for an offensive guru, who knows the running game?

Excerpt:

.............ARMY OF COACHES: The Nuggets might challenge the Dallas 
Mavericks this season for the NBA lead in coaches.

The Nuggets this summer have hired shooting coach Chip Engelland and 
development coaches Adrian Dantley and Scott Brooks, giving them eight 
assistants. Dallas had an NBA-most eight last season.

"We want to give our players every possible chance of getting better," 
said Vandeweghe, who learned a bit about having an army of assistants 
when he served on Dallas' staff before coming to Denver in 2001.
