In an interview with Steve Simineri, Yogi Ferrell has high praise for Ronald Nored, his coach when he played for the Long Island Nets, and his D-League experience in general.
Ferrell, who started the season with Long Island, was called up to the Nets, then waived and sent back down, ultimately had a fairy-tale call-up not with Dallas. Early on, he helped the Mavs win some big games, but he settled down a bit in recent weeks.
The Long Island Nets, he told Simineri, helped him big-time.
“They definitely got me in the mindset of pick and roll different reads that I need to have, especially coach [Ronald] Nored with finding guys getting into the lane, making the right passes, on time, on target, finding the big man in the roll,” Ferrell told Siminieri, writing for NY Sports Day.
