| Who Coaches The Los Angeles Lakers |
A Coaching Carousel
So, you wanna know who's the mastermind behind the purple and gold, huh? Well, buckle up, 'cause the Lakers have had more coaches than a kid has pairs of sneakers. Let's dive into this coaching carousel.
The current conductor of this basketball orchestra is Darvin Ham. That's right, no more Phil Jackson-esque Zen masters or Pat Riley-esque firebrands. We've got Darvin, a guy who's probably more used to shouting out play calls than meditating in a Tibetan monastery.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Before Ham, we had the likes of Frank Vogel, who led the team to a championship but couldn't quite keep the ship afloat. And let's not forget Luke Walton, who seemed more interested in becoming a meme than winning games. But hey, that's basketball for ya!
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
A Brief History of Lakers Coaches
Now, if you're really into this stuff, you might wanna know that the Lakers have had some absolute legends on the sidelines. We're talking about guys like Phil Jackson, who turned basketball into a spiritual experience, and Pat Riley, who was basically a drill sergeant with a clipboard.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.

But let's not forget about the unsung heroes, like John Kundla, the coach who laid the foundation for the Lakers' dynasty. And how can we ignore Jerry West, the man who's logo is more iconic than the team itself (okay, maybe not that iconic, but close).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
How to... Lakers Coaching Edition
Alright, enough with the history lesson. Let's get to the important stuff.
- How to become a Lakers coach: Well, first you need to be insanely good at basketball. Then, you need to have a thick skin because the pressure is real. And finally, you need to be able to handle LeBron James' ego. Good luck with that.
- How to survive as a Lakers coach: This one's easy. Just win. A lot.
- How to deal with the Lakers fanbase: This is a tricky one. They're passionate, but they can also be brutal. So, either win championships or be prepared to be roasted on social media.
- How to keep LeBron James happy: This is probably the most important question. We're still working on the answer to that one.
- How to coach against the Lakers: Pray.
So there you have it, a brief overview of the Lakers' coaching history. Remember, coaching in LA is like walking a tightrope while juggling chainsaws. It's glamorous, it's stressful, and it's never dull.
