Y'all like retreading NBA coaches I see. We need to take a risk on a college coach.
College coaches are major risks too though.
I'd wager the best college coaches are not really ones from top programs.
If you're Coach K, you get 4-5 McD All Americans every year.
When you're in the NBA, you don't get the #1 recruiting class every year.
Now, if you have a coach from a smaller program that is constantly winning, I'd go after that coach more b/c it's their substance that is the reason for winning. There's a reason why the Celts when after Brad Stevens who coached at a lesser program in Butler that kept winning. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Few (Gonzaga) would be interesting.
Another name I never hear mentioned is Geno Auriemma. Falls into the category of having stacked teams because of recruiting but still a damn good HC.

Any thoughts?
Few is interesting. The VA coach too.
Geno? NO way. He's a bully and that won't go well with NBA players. Plus, he gets A+++++ recruits every year. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

but then you run into the other issue. some coaches are great at coaching younger players and coaching guys up. but they dont know what to do with vets or superstars that are not kids anymore.
in addition, a coach from a small program doesnt have the scrutiny to deal with for himself nor his players. this is the L.A. lakers, there is no basketball equivalent level.

Jay Wright might be someone who can actually coach (and develops players...look at all the recent 1st rounders he's developed) and have the respect of vets. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

I can't imagine a college coach doing anything with LBJ. LBJ will name his coach and that is someone that will basically follow his orders.
If that's the case, then Ty Lue is your guy!!! Ty does,have LBJ's respect.
Ty Lue might actually be the best realistic option if we were 100% getting rid of Luke which I think should happen unless Luke cleans house and gets much better assistants. Lue's a championship coach that has Lebron's respect. Underrated X&O's guy and he will hire a competent staff.
However, getting Lue would mean no Kyrie on the Lakers because they were reported to not get along.

Any of you who want Mike Brown as coach or Cousins as C will regret either by the middle of next season.
Cousins doesn't like playing D and Brown is a bad offensive coach and a weak willed leader who Lebron will walk all over. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

College basketball is 90's basketball. Stay away from their coaches, not suited for the modern game. _________________ www.lakersbrasil.com

Well Mike Brown did coach LeBron already, with some success. He's not my first choice by any means, but I'd definitely take him over Jackson, Kidd, Lue... _________________ www.lakersbrasil.com

We should take a look at David Vanterpool... Blazers assistant coach who is credited with developing KD, Lillard and McCollum among others _________________ “God knew they couldn’t be on this Earth without each other. He had to bring them home to have them together.” – Vanessa Bryant

I'm surprised Jeff Van Gundy's name hasn't been brought up by many. That's actually intriguing. _________________ “You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.” - Kobe Bryant

Why should this team, as constructed, hire a coach who wants to walk the ball upcourt the entire game and keep the scores in the 70s and 80s? _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers
