Please don’t use the word, “outcoach” when talking about how Jordi Fernandez has bested some of the NBA’s top coaches. It would be disrespectful — Fernandez has only been a head coach for 23 games — but you certainly can think it. Others have.
After all, in the month of November, as Brian Lewis points out in his Sports+ column, the Nets and Fernandez posted victories over Doc Rivers’ Milwaukee Bucks, at Steve Kerr’s Golden State Warriors and at Mike Budenholzer’s Phoenix Suns, veterans who have six titles and four Coach of the Year trophies combined.
