In an interview with Brazil’s Globo TV, Tiago Splitter talks about his dual role with the Nets ... and about what to expect from Brooklyn’s team.
The role, according to the Nets press release last April, is supposed to be more of a “hybrid,” as he calls it, with him serving as a scout with “added duties related to player on-court development,” aka a big man coach But from reading the interview and a few sightings of the former Spur around the Nets practice facility, it looks like he’s doing more coaching than scouting ,
The seven-footer who played in both Europe and the NBA participates “training” in the morning, he says, watching closely the “technical development ,” particularly the “young centers,” which has to mean Jarrett Allen as well as Brooklyn’s other 20-something bigs.
