    The closest facsimile to Billups in recent memory is Nash in Brooklyn last year.

    On his staff, he had MDA/Vaughn who had prior head coaching experience, and Udoka/Ott/Ivey who all had multiple years as assistants. Even with that, there were times when it seemed like Nash was lacking some of the game flow aspects (when to call timeouts, clock management, working the refs, etc etc).

    This is why I liked the Brooks hire, but we need at least one more assistant with more experience.

    When Kerr first got the head job in golden state he had multiple assistants with zero coaching experience in the NBA on his staff.

    heres a thought

    blazers hired a woman as an assistant coach due to backlash for not hiring another woman (becky hammon), but also to ease the chauncey billups backlash

    to understand me completely, im not saying shes being hired just cause shes a woman (i have no doubt that shes qualified), but it had to be a woman

    She isn’t in charge of the Xs and Os so hard to place responsibility on her

    and tbh her player development is rather limited due to quality of athlete she receives. Cant turn a turd into a diamond as they say

    no they won’t. They will run with the “this is a PR move” angle. Nothing is more predictable. But also, who gives a fuck what they think or feel?

    Why do we have to read so much into everything? Why can't this just be a coach hiring an assistant that he has faith in and wants to hire?
