#NBA Labor can influence hiring but does not have final decision making ability. Labor's 'choices' for potential coaches are constrained by what ownership will accept. You're missing the larger picture here - Let the Merovingian break it down for you 🤨

Also, you have to look at why Nash is even considered HOF / Coaching material to begin with. He's not a champion, he's not even the best PG of his generation. He was elevated based on the same racially biased assessments of 'talent & ability' that have always defined the #NBA
Patrick Ewing had been an assistant coach for YEARS, he's a legit champion and HOF - couldn't get a whiff as a head coach. Now he's at Georgetown. Same story with many other black players with an interest in coaching
As recently as 10 years ago more than a third of #NBA coaches were black. In 2020 it's down to FIVE. Only FIVE black coaches out of 32 teams? C'mon @exavierpope how can you not see Nash as part of that overall problem ?
