Earlier this morning, Adrian Wojnarowski announced the New Orleans Pelicans had agreed in principle to sign Darren Erman.
The New Orleans Pelicans are moving quickly to assemble a coaching staff to surround Alvin Gentry, reaching an agreement in principle with Boston Celtics assistant Darren Erman to become associate head coach, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Erman, who will oversee the Pelicans' defense, informed Celtics officials on Tuesday morning that he had accepted the job with New Orleans, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Unless you're unusually on top of everything that transpires in the NBA, you probably don't know much about Erman and why he was selected over seemingly better names like Brian Shaw, Don Newman, Ron Adams, Adrian Griffin or Mike Brown.
