Nets hire Steve Nash as coach

[Miggs]

The NBA is no different a business than what you see in corporate America. They should have never shammed interviewed Vaughn for the head coaching position if that were the case.

I was extremely impressed by his coaching in the bubble.

NBA is very different in that the employees earn more than there boss and call shots like whos gonna be there boss...that dynamic doesnt happen in any other corner of the corporate world...

Not a minute of coaching or front office experience and hes getting to coach a finals contender??

White privilege

Just like 2x MVP (1x over Shaq and Kobe)

The Black Head Coach gets to stay on as lead flunky

He did show promise in the bubble. But I'm not even speaking on the merits of his coaching ability. I'm just saying, if KD and kyrie ask for a coach, you hire that coach. That sets a much better precedent for black personnel than just it being a pure front office decision.

Nash managing all those egos.

Hopefully Nash has some Phil to his approach. Phil managed Michael and Rodman with Scotties passive aggressive nature

 

[Rollo Goodlove]

So they are going to break him Kyrie is not going to listen to Nash, K.D. might.

 

[easymoneysniper]

Was told he brings intangibles to the table

 

[Rollo Goodlove]

Weird I'm getting to the age where players I grew up watching becoming Head coaches.

It will be a trip when someone hires Rondo to be HC, because he is a basketball genius and will make a great coach

Rondo has the attitude to win championships LeBron the 4th will be in luck

 

[Dwight Howard]

Yeah I'm not sure if he's a real Xs and Os guy, and you develop and learn that by being in real situations.

This hiring might mean that Kyrie and KD don't want a real coach with a real system, they just want someone who'll say the right things and give advice here and there.

 

[HTXBreh]

His in game adjustments aren't going to be good

 

[Dwight Howard]

He's just trying to reaffirm his blackness. He does this all the time.

Everyone knows he straddles the fence and cherry picks on certain topics to "go in on" when it comes to race. Check the First Take clips on Drew Brees' comments.

His forced rants are just an attempt to overcompensate.

Yea like the Jerry jones attacks. Such a low-hanging fruit, dude not fooling anyone with that bs

 

[thatrapsfan]

KD wanted a big name coach he's comfortable with clearly. If he wanted Vaughn, he'd be coach. Superstars have never had more leverage over major coaching/personnel decisions.

Same reason Atkinson got fired early

 

[Dwight Howard]

Interesting if Kyrie supported this. Soooo, you wanted the players to sit out the bubble due to racial injustice in America, yet you support the hiring of yet another white head coach with zero head coach experience when there were other experienced black men available for the job?

Disrespectful comparison. True militants are rolling in their grave.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Steve Kerr never coached.Whats the difference

Fam your a moron for even saying this

 

[Trojan 24]

Jason kidd didn't have coaching experience when he was hired by Brooklyn....

And neither did D-Fish and he wasn't even a HOF

 

[holidayinn21]

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.

If they wanted to "do right" by him, they should've made him the HC
