Coaching Search: 7/8 Update - Magic to hire Jamahl Mosley per Woj

[RookieStar]

She's not blocking players if she's blocked anyone. "Magic twitter" are fans, probably annoying fans at that, spamming memes.

LOL that reason is more believable

[basketballRob]

I like Wes Unseld Jr so far. Defensive minded coaches seem to have more success.

Hammon isn’t going to be the coach lol

Ok cool. Don't have twitter so blocking off players means she don't want to talk to our guys anymore? That's kinda unprofessional but that's me.

Communicating via Twitter is the sign of a child. Hopefully, she's communicating directly with players like a real professional.

Vanderpool or Willie Green please, development coaches

Im in the finance sector. Communicating using social media when it comes to work is definitely unprofessional. Hence, I don't bother with insta and twitter at all.

I mean the Luka thing itself should be enough to get him looks, when an elite all-world player is a big fan of you, and enough to make a HOF, championship coach uncomfortable for his own job, surely youre doing something right, right?

But was reading different articles about him that have been published since this carlisle\luka thing happened, and all really sound promising for a situation like ours. Hes coached on some great coaches in George Karl, Mike Brown and Rick Carlisle and mostly been in a developmental role for them, working with the younger players and not only is a good teacher, but a great communicator and able to bond with the players. When youre likely to have 6 1st or 2nd year players on the roster next year, this is extremely important.

"He's got a great reputation with player development and he's worked for some terrific coaches. He was with George Karl for many years, he was with Mike Brown, he's had a chance to be here with us and be with, really, an eclectic set of teams over the last six years," Carlisle said last year (via The Dallas Morning News). "The good thing about that, from a coaching standpoint, is you're in all kind of developmental situations and so I think that's been really great for all of us, but particularly a young coach like him."

"He's got the things that are needed for a head coach," Doncic said of Mosley. "He can be the head coach, for sure."

He was also on brad stevens list of interviews for the celtics job and interviewed with the Knicks and bulls last year, so not like he just popped up in coaching circles

This was from a different article, and its something you always expect a great coach like carlisle to say about one of his assistant, but still nice to hear

“He’s a young man that’s worked extremely hard to build up his reputation as a great young coach, great communicator,” Carlisle said in an appearance on the Dennis and Cowlishaw Show on ESPN Dallas 103.3 [KESN-FM]. “I don’t think he’s going to be with us much longer, honestly. Whether it’s the Knicks or somebody else, this guy is going to be a head coach sooner than later.”

Watch on YouTube

There quite a few videos on youtube of his workouts with Luka, seems like a good teacher
And i know this sounds dumb, but listening to some of his interviews and videos, he just has this presence about him and sounds like a head coach. You see some guys who get hired and they dont really seem to be the leaders that teams (especially of young rebuilding teams) need. Felt the same way about ime udoka when watching stuff on him, and would of been happy with him too.

Again, there isnt alot out there about him, but everything thing i did see was promising

There’s a clip of Mosley telling LBJ to shut the f up when LBJ was in Miami during a game. That’s enough for me lol

[pepe1991]

In this interview, he lost me when he said " Defense first, more than anything because i belive you can guys in position to score and help them score". This is so 90s - early 00s mentality, naturally, that's when he played.
In this whole playoffs only last game of Suns and Clippers was "defensive" game, mostly because teams were too busy throwing bricks to the point where Clippers missed 11 FTs ( main star 6 himself ).

You interview guy like him because he has good relationship with Luka Doncic and because Luka said he could be coach in nba?

There is video that is year old where Jamahl is slapping Luka in a face and you can see in Luka's reaction that he is not pleased. However, it seems like they liked each other given everything Luka told.
But to understand that relationship you have to know that Luka's career long coach is Pablo Laso, guy famous for yelling all the time and having that "tough love " approach so it's probably what Luka is used to.
I'm not sure Magic or any other team's players will be pleased with that approach.
