Longtime NBA analyst shows strong interest in Nuggets coaching job
April 15, 2025
What are people's thoughts on this? I don't think I hate it. One of the few analyst I can stand.

If memory serves me right, he has no coaching experience. Idk if we need to be taking a chance on a first-time coach right now. Only one I think they should take a long look at is Adelman
We can’t take a rookie coach for next 3 years of jokic prime…sure if he wants to be an assistant maybe but to give a guy like this a head coaching job to lead us over next 3 years of win now seems insane to me.
Absolute nothing burger of an article, I regularly watch the podcast he talked about this on and it was more of a hypothetical than anything.
My hunch is he’s more Mark Jackson than JJ Reddick.
legler is always fishing for coaching jobs despite being on-record as unwilling to start as an assistant and work up. total clown show, IMO
This was question by Mares on their podcast. They also decided Mares would be the GM and the audio guy would be the ball boy – this wasn’t said as a remotely serious thing.
A rookie coach with a top 10 talent lmao. Bullshit article
I want to be an NBA head coach as well……breaking news here first!!!!
We have a coach. Adelman is high on a lot of lists and we have him in house already.
Nope
Legs is a GOD compared to other “analysts”. Not sure if that would equate into being able to successfully coach but that man is leaps and bounds more tolerable than most.
Fuck it, let’s go with Adam Mares

It’s either Adelman or someone significantly more qualified imo this dude isn’t it

This guy!
I would love to see Steve Nash get the coaching job. Steve Nash and Jokic sounds like a dream
Wow, just watched the clip and looking at how they’re speaking, it’s basically confirmed. At this rate Legler might just sign his contract by the end of the second round.
JJ Redick
Night mares
No. Micah Nori or Becky Hammon.
He’s one of THE best analysts if not the best. I love listening to his pod but tbh not sure if he’s head coach material. Would love to get him on as an assistant first maybe.
He’ll nah
The better candidate for me would be the former Grizzles coach Taylor Jenkins. Getting him would be a no brainer
Nah Adelman deserves his shot
Just wanted to say Im strongly interested and have no coaching experience as well
Only coach Id accept in Steve Nash, I think he’d unlock Jamal a lot better then any other coach.
Legs is the best analyst out there. He will be like a Redick is right now
This is dumb clickbait. He didn’t do any such thing, he was conversationally saying on his podcast that he had ideas. I have ideas too, that doesn’t mean we should talk about me coaching the nuggets.
