Juwan Howard and Jerry Stackhouse had to go to college to become HC's

Ewing had to go to Georgetown

Sam Cassell has been an assistant forever

Ty Lue is a fukking title winning coach

Don't tell me the NBA doesn't have a black coaching issue
Here's the bigger issue in regards to this situation:

there's 4 head coaching vacancies (Chicago, Philly, New Orleans, Indiana, eventually Houston) and Vaughn was more comfortable turning an interim gig into a raise instead of being a potential candidate for 4 different places). Brooklyn did right by Vaughn.

A few Floors Down from the Daily Grind
Now that I've sat on this for an hour...

1) The statement says Marks wanted someone who his players would respect (Kyrie and KD)
2) He would never hire a new coach without their consent given the money he's just paid them
3) Nash and KD have a good relationship already
4) If they gave the job to Jacques and made Nash the assistant, than there would always be a backdoor ear to whisper to and undercut Jacques team control
5) It's apparent now it was never gonna be Jacques, becasue KD and Kyrie didn't want him.

It's still a bad look, but it feels more like a bad look to placate his stars than an attempt to just hire a white dude over Jacques.
