Up top, I wanna acknowledge that most of us know absolute crap about coaching let alone assistant coaches, but still -
Who is that one deep cut assistant coach that you’ll always love, and thought would make an amazing head coach but failed miserably in that role.
Mine will probably be Nate Bjorkgren, who had a disastrous tenure in Indiana, but for some reason, I thought (and still think) he’ll be a great HC. His offense and plays were good, but I feel like he couldn’t build good relationships with any of his players.
Too much ass kissing in the coaching business for my tastes!
I feel for a lot of assistants who do a great job, loyal, dedicated, but the right people may not like them (or they are not the spotlight seekers)so they don’t ever get a head coach.
Chris Quinn in Miami is one, Chris went is another, Sam Castell obviously…but here comes jj redick and he gets lakers job 1st try!!
Lakers are a JOKE!! Kissing lebrons ass by hiring a guy who is a yes man to allow browny to play with dad!
Lebron is over the hill, street clothes davis not dependable and a full on soap opera to boot!
I could see charlotte or orlando franchise doing this bush league bullshit but not a storied franchise like lakers
