There could be a lot of changes that come post-playoffs where organizations may change their plans based on a lack of meeting expectations (IMO, Toronto getting rid of Keefe if they don't make it far/get bounced in the 1st round). There are more candidates that could've came available for one reason or another. What we know for certain, is that Lindy was a candidate with a bunch of unemployed candidates. But I feel they didn't give themselves a fighting chance to find the best decision of the best potential candidates which may have grown after the playoffs, unless they were stuck on just one guy from internal discussions, which is what it looks like.
Again, not mad they chose Lindy, just don't feel like the process was done as an organization that didn't know their answer before the question.
