The general consensus of the NBA as a whole was that Darvin Ham was far behind due to a chance at the head coach’s gig.Set aside the fact that the same people agree Lakers Employment of Ham It’s the same as taking over himself many times over the years, Uniform approval of his recruitment is a great positive For the franchise.
In a recent interview Mark Medina on NBA.comThe Lakers owner, Jeanie Buss, talked about what she had to do to hire Ham.
“I believe in Darvin Ham a lot. When you are attending the governor’s meeting and the governor tells you,” We interviewed your man, you got a great coach. Or, “He worked for us, you got a great guy.” His reputation in the league is to hear how much other people respect him. I am very proud of it. He has a really good coach. “
Durbin’s positive reputation comes from his many years of experience establishing himself as a strong voice and the coach who won multiple players during his stop throughout the league. He will give the Lakers a different approach, for better or for worse, than Frank Vogel did.
Bass was asked about the difference between Ham and Vogel and her role in the recruitment process.
What do you think Durbin and his staff can do that you and the basketball management staff believe Frank Vogel and his staff couldn’t do it last season?
Durbin is a very impressive person and has strong leadership. He was part of the Lakers organization a few years ago. I have always admired his work ethic as a player and as a coach. That’s what he brings to this team.
How did you get involved in coaching search?
Rob can answer from a process perspective. But it’s up to him to pass the candidate. As they get closer to making decisions, they want to make sure we’re all on the same page. But the decision belongs to Rob, and I fully support it.
It’s interesting to note that Genie said it was the decision of General Manager Rob Pelinka to make Ham the next head coach of the franchise. Her goal could reveal that she wasn’t affecting the problem, which also means that Pelinka is the only decision maker on the team. He made that distinction himself during the exit interview, and as a result he effectively held himself accountable if things went wrong.
If that doesn’t all work, Pelinka’s job will be online. But if the popularity of ham recruitment throughout the league shows where the Lakers are heading, they probably don’t need to cross the bridge.
