The "Out of Left Field" Coaching Candidates Thread
Posted on 9/24/20 at 11:07 am
Posted on 9/24/20 at 11:07 am
This is a thread for discussing coaching candidates that we have not really talked about on here.
It is not intended to talk about totally CRAZY candidates that have absolutely no shot, just viable coaches that we haven't discussed at all.
I'll start:
Nate Bjorkgren, Assistant Coach, Toronto
I bring him up because he just interviewed for the Indiana Pacers job and is being called a "finalist" for the job.
He has been off and on with Nick Nurse for a VERY long time. He spent 4-5 years in the DLeague with Nurse, with Nurse being a HC of the DLeague team and he being an assistant.
He then was a HC several times in the DLeague with pretty good results, all of his teams improving winning records under him.
He spent a couple of years under Hornacek in Phoenix as a player development coach.
Then went to Toronto as a scout and then an assistant coach for the past few years under Nurse. Nurse raves about him.
I do not know that much else about him to be honest, just since he is on another team's radar and everyone loves Nick Nurse right now, might be something to look at.
So who ya got?

I’d consider Larranaga to fit in this category

Larranaga and Chris Quinn, although i wouldn't call them out of left field really. More as guys we haven't discussed much before.

Both have been discussed on this board, Larranaga had a thread started about him.
They haven't been discussed much, but they have been discussed.
I'm looking for guys with virtually no discussion at all.
for instance, two more names: Pat Delany and Brian Keefe.

Alex Jensen
Jaron Collins
Sarunas Jasikevicius

Cheryl Reeve (way left field)

Jordi Fernandez is a good one.
The type of guy we haven't talked about that could have an actual chance at a job.
We've talked about Weaver a decent bit on here. He would be left field to ESPN, but not us.

Yeah, I’d throw in the other Nets connection that doesn’t get discussed on here too: Chris Fleming

That one would be surprising to say the least. 
Spent the vast majority of his coaching career in the WNBA and there are still a lot of people in the nba that hate his guts
