Kind of crazy to think LeBron has had only 2 HCs with previous NBA head coaching experience in his career
Can't wait until mid-December when the Lakers are .500 again and b2b NCAA champ coach gets scapegoated for not playing Taurean Prince over Rui or some other such nonsense.

Silas had an NBA job before coaching LeBron
Spo was a 3rd year coach when LeBron joined
Vogel has coached before
so kinda true if Spo doesn't count as having previous nba coaching experience.

By jjasper Go To PostHurley seems like a coach to bring in with a young roster not one with the lakers roster.I'm guessing they expect Bron to leave in FA.
Any interest in grabbing Nembhard Sharp? Pacers are limited in what they can pay him. He'll be 25 in January. Averaged good post season splits.

If I was Hurley it’d take an obscene amount of money to take that job. College basketball coach always struck me as a pretty great gig. NBA not so much.
That Lakers job is cancer as long as LeCoach and LeGM are there.
Dunno that the whole folksy wife guy thing plays in LA either but that’s a totally different conversation.

Imagine having to re-recruit your entire team every year. That's college now. Not just one and dones, with NIL and the transfer portal, everyone is a free agent every offseason.
Yea NIL is pretty sus for college coaches now. That being said I'd still probably prefer it over the NBA as long as the money is similar.
A 35 maybe tops 40-game schedule for the same money and a 1-and-done tournament format if you're a good recruiter sounds like a better deal if the money is equal. Travel schedule is lighter, too. Less games per week and you play from November until March at most.
And you can always threaten guys with being kicked off the team or benched if they don't listen to you. And ensure that all the players on your roster fit the playstyle you prefer to coach.

By Christberg Go To PostIf I was Hurley it’d take an obscene amount of money to take that job. College basketball coach always struck me as a pretty great gig. NBA not so much.College coaching seems like pretty miserable job. Basically a coach having to be GM, scouting, training staff, and everything inbetween. Nonstop travel for recruiting and now having to continually recruit your own players/scout other teams players to keep up.

Yep. Don’t have to put up with egos nearly as much, less than half the workload. Get to help kids grow up right. Actually get paid unlike a HS coach.
If you’re at UConn folks are transferring to you, not the other way around. Plus you’ve got half the team at least that are not NBA players and some of those kids you can really help if you’re motivated to do so.
Sucks all your most talented players are one and done but even so…

https://frontofficesports.com/buzzer-beater-tnt-is-negotiating-for-4th-nba-rights-package/?utm_content=buffere9b05&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
Get ready for another plot twist in the multibillion-dollar NBA media-rights negotiations.
Warner Bros. Discovery is in negotiations to secure a possible fourth media-rights package, sources with knowledge of the negotiations tell Front Office Sports.
That could still happen. But it’s not over until it’s over. Sources tell me TNT is still at the table for a smaller, less-expensive fourth package that could include regular-season and some playoff games. Another scenario? For the NBA to slice off a package of locally televised games from teams and turn them into national games for TNT, according to Puck.Basically what nba tv is currently
Winning B2B championships should be the end of your college career
Can always go back if the pros don’t work out
Get the $$$$$$$$ then go back when LeBron fires you in two seasons

By reilo Go To Postcan't think of a job Patrick Mahomes is less qualified for than voice over guy.
oh god it's even worse than i thought.
Hurley signed a 6-year, $32.1M deal with UConn last year. I’d imagine any contract with the Los Angeles Lakers would far exceed that, realistically over $10M annually.oh pfft he's gone lmao
By DiPro Go To Posti don't respect anyone who coaches ncaa.
I lost respect for a ton of ncaa coaches after the NIL started
Dummies got super salty about not being able to have control
That’s why Nick Saban retired, dummy had players in his pocket with the schools $$$$$$$
By Fenderputty Go To PostI don’t follow any college sport so I have no clue if I should like this development or not.It isn’t really possible to say anything about it one way or the other. The environments, politics, and people involved are all way too different.
In general, college coaches really struggle with coaching pros because everything is so different. It works better if they are able to get a season or two as an assistant or in the front office.

That’s actually my concern. Completely different ecosystems.
By Fenderputty Go To PostI don’t follow any college sport so I have no clue if I should like this development or not.Hurley is a great Xs/Os and culture guy
he's also a raging asshole it will be interesting to see how he adjusts his pitch to deal w/ professionals
There needs to be multiple cameras on his huddles at all times. Need to see Lebrons faces when he tries to rip into him or bronny the first time.
By pilonv1 Go To PostThat's a good press shot of a man coaching. Maybe he has some ideas.
LOL WHAT
