NBA Coaching Vacancies Shift Focus Away from Playoffs




Sheridan Hoops Radio show

Summary: Here we are in the critical stage of the second round of the NBA playoffs, and it seems folks would prefer to talk about Donald Sterling, or the many NBA coaching vacancies, rather than the actual game itself. Why is that? Well, the Sterling case long ago crossed over from the sports realm to the mainstream realm, and scandals never fail to overwhelm normalcy. Also, the basketball fans in NBA cities outside of Indianapolis, Miami, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Portland are already forcused on the offseason, and the hope for the future than changes bring. There are coaching vacancies with the Knicks, Lakers, Jazz, Pistons Timberwolves and Cavaliers, and we are in the strange phase of watching a guy who has never coached, Steve Kerr, become the most targeted coaching prospect out here.  Why is that? The answer is contained in this podcast from the Boers and Bernstein show on 670-TheScore in Chicago.
