There were some rumours about Sidney Lowe and/or Kurt Rambis.

College offenses get run in the NBA all the time. Just not retarded shit like "The dribble drive offense"

Every single NBA team does offense that coincides with the principles of the dribble drive.

OMG who loves to draw plays EVERY time out when he as coaching the Grizz?

Calipari won't come back to the nba until half the league went to Kentucky. Then he will propagate the ultimate Heat-style collusion and have a team with like 6 all stars

i always bring it up, but what about byron scott? it was etched in stone that he would coach kobe bryant at some point. kobe used to refer to scott as his mentor.

It seems to me that the Lakers want a celebrity coach. It makes sense, since the coach of the Lakers is going to face 10x more scrutiny than any other coach in this league other than whoever is coaching the Knicks.

I think Cal could be a good NBA coach, he's great at managing egos, but in that respect he's more like Phil and needs a pre-assembled team. I don't know that he's the guy to put in charge of rebuilding this Lakers team, even if it's supposed to be a quick turnaround.

That means we're taking Randle?
Hope they know what they're doing.

I have no idea why coaches don't leave for the pros. College will always be there waiting for you. It's like going being unwanted in the NBA but wanted in the Euroleague.

Randle might not even be there when the Lakers pick.

I mean they do a lot of times. I think it's more that NBA GM's prefer guys with NBA backgrounds most of the time. Brad Stevens was the hottest young coach in the NCAA and he got hired away, Billy Donovan signed with the Magic but backed out, and Cal has obviously already done a stint in the Association. I think you'll see Bill Self in the NBA pretty soon, along with a return by Cal and maybe Billy Donovan too.

Coach K is the really big name who never made the jump, but even he flirted with the Lakers a couple of times.

It's like with football, the really great coaches are going to want to go up against the best of the best to prove themselves, and the best of the best are in the NBA.
