I had the same thought when Eric Spoelstra became head coach of the Miami Heat. He was initially just their video coordinator and later a scout. His only coaching experience was as a coach of a local youth basketball team in Germany. He had been boxing shoes for Nike at one point. It sounded ridiculous to me. Now he is considered one of the top coaches in the history of the NBA. You never know. Apparently a lot of teams see something in Pitcher, because he had at least three other teams interested in having him be their OC.
