When a team wins or loses, the person fans mostly hear about is the head coach. But what about the assistant coach? It is time to focus in on the Jerry Stackhouse, a man behind the success of the Memphis Grizzlies’ youth.
Many believed that after college, Stackhouse would go on to become the next Michael Jordan. Both Jordan and Stackhouse are North Carolina natives and both of them had tremendous collegiate careers. They were both first-round, third-overall picks in the NBA Draft.
Though Stackhouse did not go on to become the player Jordan was, his career should not be overlooked.
