Looks like they are starting to evolve the Jerry West character. For a while it looked like it was going to be a hit job. I guess he was just miserable as a coach.
Yeah, he was smart enough to know it too. He really found his footing when he moved to the FO. He basically cared too much and couldn't get past losses.
I want to see how they handle Riley becoming the HC. If memory serves, Dr. Buss wanted West to be the HC, but he didn't want to do it. It led to a pretty cringe worthy press conference where Dr. Buss basically said West would be the coach, then tried to say they would be ''co-coaches'' and West said Riley would be head coach. lol
