Lakers to interview J.B. Bickerstaff for head coaching job on Friday

The Los Angeles Lakers have fully moved on from their failed negotiations with Tyronn Lue and have broadened their search to feature a somewhat familiar face.

According to Brad Turner of The L.A. Times, the Lakers will include J.B. Bickerstaff — son of Bernie — in their group of candidates and are meeting with him Friday afternoon:

“Bickerstaff is scheduled to meet with Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, general manager Rob Pelinka, co-owners Joey Buss and Jesse Buss, president of business operations Tim Harris, director of special projects Linda Rambis and senior advisor Kurt Rambis.
