As the Lakers continue moving forward with their search for a head coach, there is a growing possibility that the team hires a first-time head coach in Darvin Ham. The current Bucks assistant reportedly made the strongest impression on the franchise and was also considered the favorite for the job as well as being LeBron James’ pick.
For as qualified as Ham has been for some time as a candidate and for as ready as he may be to be a head coach, previous head coaching experience still counts for something and it’s something Ham simply won’t have.
