Golden State Warriors looking to hire Darvin Ham as an assistant coach to help Stephen Curry and team

Darvin Ham ended his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers in a not the most exciting way. His time with the team was met with a lot of scrutiny and was subject to questions regarding his coaching style. However, reports have come through that Ham has a significant interest from the Golden State Warriors in becoming an assistant coach.

The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported that the Golden State Warriors have had conversations with Darvin Ham recently about joining their staff. This is after current assistant Kenny Atkinson is in the works to be hired as the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. That would put the Warriors down two coaches after they tragically lost Dejan Milojevic this past January.

Before taking the Lakers’ job, Ham was a respected assistant with the Milwaukee Bucks. This interest shows that the Warriors respect him as a coach.

To the effect that the all-time leading scorer was taking over coaching duties during games. Ham faced criticism for not making adjustments in between a game. That, and inconsistent lineups led to a first round exit in the playoffs.
