Jared Dudley on goal of becoming head coach: 'Some of us aren’t JJ Redick and get to go right away'

For now, Jared Dudley’s coaching career will continue in Dallas. The Mavericks assistant spoke to reporters Monday, where he broke down why he decided to stick with the team despite garnering interest from other NBA squads. Dudley joined Jason Kidd’s coaching staff in 2021 after suiting up for 14 seasons in the NBA. “It’s not the time. For one, there’s unfinished business. For two, you gotta wait for the right opportunity. I’m not leaving Dallas. My family loves it here,” Dudley said. “That right opportunity hasn’t come yet for me to go. I always tell people that I’m in no rush. It’s not like I’m going anywhere for the money. I made a lot of money as a player so my whole thing is I’d rather be a year or two behind and take the right job and stay here.” -via Dallas Morning News / July 9, 2024

Jason Gallagher was the lead producer for new Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick’s ThreeFourTwo Productions projects, including the infamous Mind the Game podcast that Redick cohosted with new star player LeBron James. And while Gallagher understands the scrutiny the show received during the Lakers coaching search, he insists it was not part of some grand plan to install Redick as head coach. In an appearance on the Jenkins & Jonez podcast released Tuesday, Gallagher said the plan for Mind the Game came together organically, and the Lakers search never came up between James and Redick during production. -via Awful Announcing / July 4, 2024
