I've talked to Sam personally when he worked with the Wizards. Class act dude who paid his dues and will talk basketball with ANYONE. 100% deserves a shot
Don't put your head down Sam. Much respect here. Don't let players like Lebum put his hand up ur butt and become their puppet just for a head coaching job.
He's going to be disqualified for some jobs because he's not a person that is going to be easily controlled. Sam is the type of guy that will allow other people in the organization make coaching decisions of the team he's coaching. Sadly, the best way to get a job in today's NBA is to have relationships with star players. But that comes with a price because than your job security is entirely relied upon keeping that guy happy.
@RUclipsdeletedmycomment way, way, way more often than not. Gilbert Arenas' stupid ass always drives this point home which means you know it's not true haha
Celts fan here - I was thrilled when we hired Sam as an assistant coach last summer. Fantastic player and by all accounts a great coach and leader. Jrue and KP were obviously huge adds for us, but Coach Sam was a massively underrated piece of that title run. Selfishly I want him to stay, but if I'm being real he's overdue for a shot at a head coaching spot. Shout-out to Draymond for supporting Coach Sam and for consistently using his platform to support and elevate guys who get overlooked and undervalued for bulls**t reasons.
He kept it 💯 for sure, which a lot of coaches lack and that’s why players don’t trust them. John was the #1 pick, that second year wasn’t getting better and it didn’t lol.
@@TrevorEMayo Shid, him and Pop was who I was thinking about when I heard him say it. They’ll definitely tell you. The difference is their organizations will allow them to make the proper changes. Sam was basically telling John Wall that they’re not going in the right direction to change his situation. He was right when he said a player like Klay would’ve help John out a lot. If he would’ve lied to John a who was a player that was use to winning from college he would’ve lost John trust and Sam knew how important it was to have that PG and Coach trust. Players never forget who lied to them Paul George was talking about that when he said that was what stopped him from signing with a specific team.
@@joe3rd403 At one time during my career I interviewed folks vying for open slots in my department and part of the process was presenting the candidate a situation and asking them how they would handle it. Don't you think corporations hiring folks to fill jobs where the pay is millions per year do the same? Here's how a polished candidate would handle the Wall situation. "John, I know you are frustrated with what's happening because you are a winner. That's one of the reasons we drafted you. You know that if you ever win a title here that you will lose more games in that championship season than you have lost your entire collegiate and high school career combined. We are going to struggle here for a while because we are green. You are green. I'm here to help you become a seasoned primary contributor to a champion and you can count on me to push you towards that goal. In the meantime if you ever want a shoulder to cry on at any hour of the night I will be there for you."
He would probably just barely last one season filled with arguments with players and controversy left and right, then get fired after a 17-65 record and go back to following either Doc Rivers or Joe Mazzulla.
7:18 “I’m not going lie to you, I ain’t goin lie to you .. pulled him inside and told him.. No. it’s going to be bad next year too” 😂😂😂 real as it gets
Cassell is the real deal... damn the politics in NBA... it's unfortunate he's not a head coach with any NBA team... keep your head up my man Sam, you time will come!!!
Sam is a 4X NBA Champion. 3 as a player , 1 as an Assistant Coach. That alone doesn't get him head coaching job in the NBA. That is so crazy that NBA politics would stop a guy who is a multiple time NBA Champion 🏆 from getting a Head Coach job in the league. Meanwhile Coaches like Doc Rivers who got fired by 4 Teams since the early 2000's (Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers) now Head Coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Keeps getting a Head Coach job time and time again. Doc has 1 ring (2008). Sam has 4 and can't get hired as a Head Coach. That doesn't make any sense. NBA Politics can get ridiculous and crazy sometimes. 🫤🏀
He should of gotten a opportunity especially since he was a assaint as well but being a champion is absolute useless in making that choice. you gotta be better then that. its ignoring the many things that goes into it. you are right but for the wrong reasons.
As a San Antonio Spurs fan, Sams a legend on and off the court. Im so happy that he did not get the Lakers job. Thats a true blessing from god for his career
Give Sam the damn job already this man knows the game, loves the game, has proven that he can impact a game, he’s a gem someone will be very proud that he is their teams head coach one day. Sam I am.
@@hiitsme3039 maybe if you start a Podcast with MJ an NBA team will hire you to be their next coach. Best of luck with your "future" Podcast and getting a job as an NBA Headcoach.
This is what a lot of coaches nowadays are missing. Honestly is very important and it helps with trust. He is somebody that can relate to the players and that the players can talk to.
As a Celtics fan, Sam does deserve the opportunity to be a head coach, but I'd love for him to stay with the C's for at least 2 more years. Hopefully, the Celtics 3peat in this time, and then they break up the team and Sam parts ways with the Celtics and becomes a head coach on another team. We already lost Charles Lee (assistant coach) to the Hornets and Jeff Van Gundy (senior consultant) to the Clippers. I would love to see Rondo on the Celtics' coaching staff as Sam's potential replacement.
I’m not saying it’s a valid reason at all to not hire him but u know how nba is, I thinks it’s because he prob doesn’t interview good. He’s on a podcast with another Basketball ball player just vibing & it seemed rough to get his point across on questions. Look at the difference when he starts telling story’s he’s so much smoother telling his story’s then when he’s being asked questions
@@tn2007 it makes very much sense for whatever reason this happens a lot.

@@FrankGallagher-OGyea it makes sense bro. Some people on the internet just read the headline and only watch the first minute of video before commenting. Smh
Also, if you want to be a head coach, don’t reference someone else’s head coaching method. Reference yours and maybe match to that other person’s method.
It is really disturbing that he is not a head coach. I saw that in him way back when he was playing for my beloved Nets. One of the biggest mysteries for me. Shame on the NBA for letting players pick their friends to be head coach despite lack of experience. Sam I Am deserves to be head coach somewhere. Real headscratcher.
The big with Klay Thompson, John Wall Bradley Beal would be dangerous in the East Especially against the cavs LeBron team with no help but the big 3 of warriors is still better so Klay was lucky he went to the warriors dynasty
He said he wants a chance like Phil did with Rodman. Not these days Rodman would’ve been off the team if they had social media back then. If your in Vegas doing cocaine during the playoffs someone would post that so fast
The real reason Sam hasn't gotten a shot is because he doesn't speak the language. JJ Redick, and Charles Lee go into interviews with analytics on how they an improve the team. A lot of former players (JJ excluded obviously) scoff at that. And find themselves on the outside looking in. I'm not saying it's fair, I'm just saying its real
That's the very problem with the NBA and the reason so many teams always lose, they don't have basketball minds. Obviously he knew what he was talking about when he told them to draft Klay Thompson. Sam Cassell is a smart man.
Sam Cassel 100% deserves a heads coach in this league. For anybody saying otherwise save it. The NBA head coach job is a joke many times. 0 year experience head coaches get hired everyday! Sam Cassel take over the Chicago Bulls!
The way the coaching circle keeps spinning each year I think he should be given the opportunity to head coach especially if a guy that hasn’t coached even a AAU team has gotten a head coaching job with one of the most popular and important franchises in the NBA. not to say JJ can’t coach but clearly other things matter other than experience …
When you interview for managerial positions, something has to click with the executives who are doing the hiring that makes them feel good about saying yes, he is my guy. There is something about Cassell, and it is not his knowledge of basketball, that executives do not like. And whatever that is, Sam needs to find out and correct it or mask it.
IF SAM CASSELL WAS WHITE HE WOULD BE ON HIS SECOND OR 3RD HEAD COACHING OPPORTUNITY LIKE SIMILARY SITUATED WHITE NBA PLAYERS 1.SCOTT SKILES ( CHICAGO, PHOENIX, ORLANDO,MILWAUKEE) 2. VINNY DEL NEGRO ( CHICAGO ,CLIPPERS) 3..MIKE DANTONI ( DENVER, PHOENIX, KNICKS ,ROCKETS, LAKERS) 4. JEFF HORNACHECK(KNICKS 5.

If you showed an English-speaking Nigerian basketball coach the press conference or job interview transcripts of each of the men you mentioned along with Sam's and that coach had no access to the names or pictures of each transcript then that coach would never pick Sam.
The only head coach battle we should be fighting right now is Mark Jackson. It's a travesty that he built up that warriors team and was let go right when everyone noticed that he was on to something, the next season. Of the best teammates in the NBA. Definitely a Sam Cassell fan but this is not the conversation. I think we should be happy. Get Mark in the door and then open the next one for Sam
I love Sam, grew up watching him and respect his game. If I’m a GM and I watch this, it’s no way I’m hiring him. He talks like an assistant in his mannerisms and purely leaning on motivational tactics won’t get you far as a HC. Yes Phil could relate to players but Phil had the best offensive system ever implemented. DG threw him an oop with some questions and he talks about how he told John Wall they would be losers instead of keying in on some player development wins.
I'm from Baltimore I came up as a teenager the same time Sam Cassell was coming up playing for the Dunbar poets what I'm about to say maybe controversial but the reason why Sam Cassell has not been offered a head coaching job is there a heat suffers from a severe case of negro- itis , meaning he is authentically a black man from Baltimore City, PURELY AFRICAN IN his physical characteristics , the way he looks, talks, e c t.... and when he goes in for the interview they're not looking at the substance behind what he saying, they're judging him on everything but what they should be judging...
It's time for all of you super millionaires to do like the Jews put your money together and build your own league. That's how the NBA started. Why do we have to do everything under someone else's umbrella?
Sam you don,t need to beg for no job. Everyone knows you are legit with your knowledge and experience. It,s like the Hall of Fame there is a lot of guys who don't belong there. It,s politics and a whole lot of nonsense, be like Mark Jackson don't sell your dignity bro.
His temperament looks more like he could be a great GM, rather than head coach. Of course, then he would have to deal with a whole other set of mess with agents and the business. He could still be that calming influence he wants to be for a team, but he wouldn’t have to roll with the daily punches and emotions a head coach must sustain. He seems like a guy for whom that would grind away at his motivation and health to push forward. But maybe he will get a chance to prove doubters wrong that he’s not built for the HC position.
Perception beats reality.😮 Example I like Sam Cassell but in this interview Draymond Green comes off as head coach material. Then Sam Cassell. Life isn't fair.😮
Point guards are usually more prepared for coaching naturally, Terry Porter, Nate McMillan, Chuncy Billips, Jason Kid, Mark Jackson, usually able to chart the intangibles of what is happining on the court
No they wont. Owners of teams are billionaires for a reason. They are not goijg to hire Sam because his communication skills are sub par. He has to be able to sell the business to the locker room and sell the business to the public. All these guys talking about hiring Sam cant manage their monthly bills without being short.
I've talked to Sam personally when he worked with the Wizards. Class act dude who paid his dues and will talk basketball with ANYONE. 100% deserves a shot
When he was in Milwaukee Sam was nothing but a class act‼️ We miss him in the 414. He will get his opportunity.

Perception beats reality.😮 Example I like Sam Cassell but in this interview Draymond Green comes off as head coach material. Then Sam Cassell. Life isn't fair.😮
3 time NBA champ and an all star but he's been an assistant coach for 15 years ...
I wish the Chicago Bulls would hire him.
He does deserve a shot @ head coaching he has paid his dues
Stop clowning u don’t have sound like a head coach,to be one.
I do hope cassell gets a chance.
I believe he will get a shot in Memphis after this season.
Sam's Coaching Campaign is benefitting from his being heard, might be time for the Sam I Am podcast!🤔
I have wondered for years why he didn’t get a shot. He deserves an opportunity
J.J over Sam good because L.A doesn’t deserve Sam. ❤
Everyone ain’t a HC. Look at D Ham.
Point guards are usually more prepared for coaching naturally, Terry Porter, Nate McMillan, Chuncy Billips, Jason Kid, Mark Jackson, usually able to chart the intangibles of what is happining on the court
D Ham or was that the franchise
I’ve been sayin Sam needs to get a job for like 10 years now
Man,, the NBA blows, Mark Jackson and Sam Cassell really need to be coaching!
Sam cassell is old school and he doesn’t spoon feed his players like coaches do today
Crime. Give this man a HC job!!!!
Lakers and other teams gonna regret not signing Cassell ….
Maybe mj when he was majority hornets should have hired Sam….
No they wont. Owners of teams are billionaires for a reason. They are not goijg to hire Sam because his communication skills are sub par.
He has to be able to sell the business to the locker room and sell the business to the public.
All these guys talking about hiring Sam cant manage their monthly bills without being short.
