Bucks assistant Darvin Ham has agreed to a four-year deal to become the next coach of the Lakers, sources told ESPN on Friday. He replaces Frank Vogel, who was fired following a 33-49 season that culminated in Los Angeles missing the playoffs.
The Associated Press is reporting, citing an anonymous source because it hasn't been officially announced, that Suns coach Monty Williams has won NBA Coach of the Year.
PHOENIX: Monty Williams now has the honor that his Phoenix Suns players have been clamoring that he receive for two years: NBA’s Coach of the Year. Good luck getting him to take credit. “I’ve often said about my life that God knocks the ball out of the park and I get to run the bases,” Williams said. “Yeah, my name goes on the plaque, but my name represents a lot of names.”
