As the NBA continues to push towards its return in July, a lot of different factors remain at play. An ongoing concern has been regarding coaches and particularly, those who are older and would be more at risk should a coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak occur on the Walt Disney World campus in Orlando, Florida.
Those 65 years of age and older are more at-risk if exposed to COVID-19, and the health and safety of everyone involved is the utmost priority to the NBA as a whole. But with many coaches in that age range, including the likes of San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, Houston Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni and Los Angeles Lakers assistant Lionel Hollins, some are concerned they won’t be allowed to do their jobs properly in Orlando because of those fears.
