Although this news was announced about two weeks ago, I wanted to give our beloved assistant coach Sam Cassell the proper send off.
For those of you who might have missed the news, Cassell agreed to join Doc Rivers’ coaching staff in Philadelphia, leaving the Clippers’ bench where he’s spent the last six seasons. It was tough to lose Rivers because I really respected and admired him as a man, but losing Cassell is another tough blow.
I’ve loved having him on our coaching staff for the last few years, and was shocked we kept him as long as we did.
