The Los Angeles Lakers are still searching for their next head coach. The Lakers are doing their due diligence and conducting an extensive search for their next head coach.
The search could be winding down soon, and all signs point to ESPN commentator JJ Redick for being the next Laker head coach. Redick has made a strong impression on the Lakers brass, and he's viewed as the frontrunner for the job. Many, including his broadcasting partner, Mike Breen, believe he has the potential to be a phenomenal head coach. Breen recently appeared on The Dan LeBatard Show and reflected on the Redick coaching rumors."I have my own coaching tree now," Breen jokingly said."I do. His knowledge of the game is scary, and you could tell when he talks to coaches how they respond, when he talks to players how they respond," Breen continued.
“I have my own coaching tree now…. You never know til a guy’s in the position, but I think he has all the characteristics to be a great head coach.”Breen and Redick have been broadcast parents for only the last three-plus months. Redick joined the lead team on ESPN/ABC of Breen and Doris Burke. In only a few short months, Breen also sees the potential that the Lakers brass sees.
He's highly regarded among his peers and the Lakers. It's only a matter of time before the news breaks, and it appears that we'll have to wait until the end of the NBA Finals.
