Colangelo says this move could help "enhance" the relationship between Monty and Anthony Davis.
Apparently, smart people agree that Monty is decent coach...

Also interesting that Colangelo mentioned Monty's age. Could be grooming him.

I think it's probably more for relating to the players and having a mix of guys on the staff. Monty should have no problem being the low man on the totem pole because Thibs and Coach K have been around forever. Bring in a more experienced coach and there might be friction over the #2 spot.
