The Los Angeles Lakers have hired veteran coaches Kurt Rambis and Johnny Davis to their staff as assistant coaches, the team said Monday. Rambis, an ESPN analyst, rejoins the team after serving as an assistant coach on and off between 1999 and 2009; he was the lead assistant from 2001-04 and 2005-09. He has eight championship rings as a player, coach and front-office executive. "Kurt is a great basketball mind, extremely good at working with big men and his experience as a head coach in this league is going to prove very helpful to our staff," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said in a statement. Davis brings more than 20 years of NBA coaching experience to the Lakers, including stints as coach for the Orlando Magic (2003-05) and Philadelphia 76ers (1996-97). Source: ESPN LA
Re: Lakers Head Coach Mike D'Antoni Hires Kurt Rambis And Johnny Davis To Coaching St I wonder if D'Antoni had any say in these hires. The Lakers are now set should they decide to give him his walking papers.
