Boston Celtics champion point guard alumnus Rajon Rondo has been in the news of late as a potential finalist for the open New Orleans Pelicans head coaching job. Fellow 2008 Celtics champ Kevin Garnett is evidently a big fan of Rondo getting the gig -- or at least an assistantship should the Pels elect to go elsewhere with the hire.
The Big Ticket weighed in on Rondo's coaching candidacy in a recent episode of his "KG Certified" podcast, saying "I think the Pelicans reached out to him, and they're going to interview him for a head coaching position ... I actually think he'd do well too," said Garnett. "I actually think not only should the Pelicans consider him, I think if they don't make him a head coach, they should consider him for an assistant."
Hinting at the heavy load his prior coaches such as Doc Rivers dealt with in that role, KG suggested "Rondo not only has the intelligence, but the knowledge and he's grown a patience."
Rajon Rondo is being considered for the Pelicans coaching job due to his experience as a player and the support from former teammate Kevin Garnett.
Kevin Garnett expressed confidence in Rondo's ability to succeed as a head coach, highlighting his intelligence, knowledge, and patience.
The Pelicans are in the process of interviewing candidates for their head coaching position, with Rondo being a potential finalist.
