“I don’t know if I ever want to be a head coach again after this year.”
We’re just under two months removed from Larry Drew uttering the above quote. Back then, said comment from the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ interim coach wasn’t too surprising. After all, the team only had nine wins at the time, while Drew was basically a band-aid after Tyronn Lue was fired just a couple games into the season. The idea of he and the Cavs parting ways at season’s end felt beyond predictable.
It doesn’t quite feel that way now.
