When the Los Angeles Lakers fired Darvin Ham, the front office also made the tough decision to not retain any of the staff members under him. They let go of all the assistant coaches, even a few who had been with the team for years.
The problems under Ham were apparent but many believed that some coaches may stick around. However, the front office seems to want whomever takes over to have a clean slate and one of the coaches may have already found a new home.
Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer has reported that former Lakers assistant coach Chris Jent is heading to the Charlotte Hornets to work under new head coach Charles Lee.
