A pair of surprising coaching moves reported Wednesday by Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post, suddenly leaves the Nuggets coaching staff with some big vacancies to fill before training camp begins later this fall.
Ed Pinckney, who just completed his first year as head coach Michael Malone’s lead assistant, reportedly resigned, while player development coach Dee Brown is also not returning to the team. Wes Unseld, who was on the staff last year has replaced Pinckney as Malone’s lead assistant, per Dempsey.
There are also conflicting reports coming out of New York, where Adam Zagoria of SNY is reporting Pinckney did not resign.
