C.Laettner would make a very good NBA Coach, if he is surrounded by a assistant group of older former players with or without coaching experience.
For example, Christian would have the ear of Coach K when needed. Having a future staff of K.Tripuka, M.Cheeks, C.Oakley, B.Williams and B.McAdoo maybe in NYC for the Knicks would be fabulous.
In todays game you would have a young Laettner who is closer to the age of the players for communication purpose along with older assistants of understanding the teachings of the game watching his back.
If I was running the Knicks as GM this would be my scenario towards success that the fans of NY are looking for.
Dolan, Grunwald should call me to pull this fabulous group together towards success.
