"His accomplishments in this business as both a player and executive are almost beyond comprehension and certainly well-documented,"... "He's simply a winner and, quite honestly, you can never have too many of those in your organization."

The Warriors recently fired coach Keith Smart and are currently interviewing candidates, supposedly having talked to Kevin McHale this past week. West was voted NBA executive of the year in 1995 and 2004.
