With the success of Role Players as coaches over the years I think this dude Shane Battier would make a good coach potentially. I could be wrong and the dude just ride off into the sunset and stay away from hoops...But if he coaches I think he will be good.....Who are some of the other active athletes you think could be a good coach once they retire.


my other idea is that this Derek Fisher dude may also be a good coach,

While we asking questions: What position has transitioned to the better coaches in the league. For some reason I want to think fomer pg's have turn out to make better coaches than the other positions..

I always figured Andre miller would make an aight coach. Pg's have to understand and dictate the floor and dude been in the league a long time without some of the physical advantage of his contemporaries....

It's seems like non-athletic types of PGs transition better than bigs. superstar players seem to be the worst the best seem to be journeyman. I guess they had lots of time on the bench to see the game from the coaches POV.

Yes, he would be great coach and it doesn't hurt him having coach k in his corner.

Battier is gonna get alot of job offers when he retires.
people want him to be a commentator or analyst
Coaching might depend on the openings but either his post nba career is pretty safe.
