What Darvin Ham’s first assistant coaching hires say about his approach

Darvin Ham has barely gotten his feet wet in Los Angeles but he’s already hard at work.

Ham was officially introduced Monday as the new head coach of the Lakers and impressively passed his first test by nailing the question and answer portion of his media availability. The rookie head coach answered confidently, was firm and sounded every bit like a person who has a clear direction in mind for his new team.

While his first public outing was a resounding success, on Tuesday, he set off to begin handling his first taste at the behind the scenes portions of the job.
