Nets hire Steve Nash as coach

[Ribbs]

I’m almost certain Nash was getting paid more to analyze soccer than whatever he was doing at Golden State. But it’s an interesting hire.

Since when is he a fukking coach

9.3.2020

KD and Kyrie wanted this so nikkas can chill with the conspiracies about Jacque and all that. Atkinson probably a way better coach than Nash but players get what they want in the NBA

 

[RubioTheCruel]

KD or Kyrie wanted him to be the HC, so he's the HC.

The fact that someone brought up Rondo would be a great coach because he's a basketball genius, and had multiple daps, tells me that this board doesn't know a cotdamn thing about what coaching is about.

 

[PortCityProphet]

steve kerr was never a coach either and that worked out fine

He was in the FO tho.

This nikka Nash woke up from playing soccer in the backyard and became a HC

Man had Doc Rivers wanting to put hands on him, but somehow he’d be able to handle 15 different personalities in a locker room

"There's a modern history of retired guards getting head coaching jobs without stints as assistant coaches, including Doc Rivers (Magic), Isiah Thomas (Pacers), Mark Jackson and Steve Kerr (Warriors) and Jason Kidd (Nets)."

I wonder if the Coli militants will acknowledge this.

 

[Crack Daniels]

And to be clear I don’t have an issue with Nash getting the job, I actually think between his people skills, respect of the players, and basketball IQ he’ll make a great coach. I just feel like Jacque got a raw deal.

But like Tre said, if he’s accepting this position then he must know he’s not a candidate for any other job out there...which is sad

@ Woj.

"Modern Era"

Doc - '99-'03
Zeke - '00-'03
MJax - '11-'14
Kidd - '13-'14

Jason Kidd literally did the exact same shyt with the same team though.

shyt it was even quicker with him. Dude retired and was hired by Brooklyn a whole ass MONTH later.

shyt people bringing up Mark Jackson...her was also hired as Warriors HC with zero coaching or front office experience.

Y'all not being rational.

Also seems like people have completely erased Derek Fisher’s stint with the Knicks from memory

That said though, the frustration is understandable because of the disproportionate amount of Black coaches. 75-80% Black players with only 5 head coaches right now. Then you add on the perception that it’s harder for Black coaches to get their foot in the door, and when they do the margin for error is not the same.

Conspiracies? Is that what you call this? Some of us work for a living, so we’ve seen this before. This is awfully cacery.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Lmao.. why all these guards be getting coaching jobs is beyond me. Playing point Guard is not the same as coaching.

I see you never played organized basketball in your life.. As a PG you are bascially the extension of the HC on the floor

Could be a resume padder for Vaughn if it works, Nash, KD and Kyrie will get the blame if it doesn’t, and he gets a raise in the meantime. Don’t love it, don’t hate it
