It’s interesting because while he has a ton of people, there isn’t that much experience. The most important experienced is an old AAU guy who had been at UCLA. Aside from that, he has a player development guy from the Grizzlies and a high school coach.
His support staff arguably has more experience - his chief of staff was a women’s head coach coach for over a decade and his personal assistant is a woman who was on his staff when he was a head coach in the G League.
Eisley played with Jalen in high school. He’s on Fizdale’s staff (who was with Juwan in Miami) in NY now. Looks like Eisley and Juwan were teammates in Dallas for part of the 2000-01 season but that was the only time they crossed paths.
He could obviously coach the guards and had a long NBA career but if he was hired, that would be another staff member with no college coaching or recruiting experience.
point guard, offensive guy. his nba career almost completely mirrors juwan’s. 12 yrs, 10 teams. 6 yrs as an assist w 3 teams right after. played bulk of his career for jerry sloan 
I love this idea. we’ve surrounded harbaugh with support staff and used it as a way to elevate guys in coaching ranks.
with a lower head coach salary and less experience it seems like a no brainer. i know some said here tim miles wouldn’t be able to coach as nebraska owes him 2 mill (and that would be negated) but wonder if he was a “chief of staff”/advisor if that language still applies
Miles’ buyout would be reduced, not negated. Typical now is to deduct $1 of the buyout for every $2 of salary. Schools want coaches they fire to take another job when they have a buyout. They may even renegotiate the details. A prominent coach just did that before taking a new job, his name escapes me.
Sanderson stays
Long offseason still ahead
True, but in terms of checking off boxes, that’s a really good one to be able to check off.
This is good news.
Not sure what to think of this tweet though
Mike Miller has been a huge part of Penny Hardaway’s recruiting success at Memphis, FWIW.
Fernando looks like more of a film/ops guy.
There’s another Mike Miller with HC experience in college. He’s a HC in the G-League now.

So which Mike Miller is that twitter referring too? The Miller at Memphis would be a home run pickup for recruiting. I’m struggling to see that one though.
Mike Miller is the best recruiting assistant in the country right now. Would be surprised if he left Memphis though.
If it’s THAT Mike Miller…
The other Mike Miller sounds good to me too
I see a prospective coaching staff post in Dylan’s future.
When I see stuff like this, I immediately think that’s it’s opinion that’s reported like news. Who’s short list are we talking about? Unless it’s Juwan’s short list, I don’t give a damn.
Is it your source’s short list? Who’s your source? Your buddy at the same blog? A colleague? A former or current Heat official that you got to spitball off the record? This isn’t news. You’re breaking your own think piece.[/rant]
I mean it is a speculative list but it isn’t really reported as fact. Don’t see the harm in reporting that some people could be in the mix.
Others have thrown around names like Jay Smith or Howard Eisley. If they don’t get or take the job, it doesn’t mean they were wrong.
who is ryan miller ^ ?? TCU’s HC?
