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 :manny:
And Atkinson is a really good coach too

My Wizards need to get him or Vaughn :mjcry: Why must we keep Scott Brooks

Disrespectful comparison. True militants are rolling in their grave.
Please tell me why supporting yet another group of black men being surpassed for a coaching role in a sport they make up about 85% in is a disrespectful comparison? Systemic racism in America takes many forms, police brutality, mass incarceration, and the glass ceiling that keeps us from moving up the corporate ladder. Explain the disrespect.

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
Maybe he rather be an assistant for KD/Krie then a head-coach for some rebuilding squad. He ain't starving for money. I think its reasonable to consider the fact he might get more fulfillment out of coaching a contender with a generational talent.

Look I understand the need for black representation on coaching staffs and front-office, I get it. But let's keep it real, there are 30 head coaching jobs. Hundreds of front-office jobs. This makes up an extremely insignificant portion of the black population. I dont know you but i can damn-near guarantee you dont know anyone that has held a job in the nba. My point is, it's not that damn important to compare it to more significant issues such as state-sanctioned murder. It's a disrespectful comparison.

Steve’s Nash ability to be at the right place, at the right time, in the right situation, is underrated :laugh::laugh: I have my opinions about him but he’s a legendary basketball mind. Interested to where this goes ultimately but man I wished Vaughn got that HC job
