Elston Turner interviewed for the Sacramento Kings head coaching vacancy a week ago, and although he lost out the job to Dave Joerger, he might still be able to land a job in California’s capital.
Yes, Dave Joerger is now the new head coach of the Sacramento Kings, but Vlade Divac, Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Kings, has granted Joerger the liberty to hire his own coaching staff. This could mean that the idea of Joerger bringing in Turner as an assistant coach is a high possibility.
Turner who has been on Joerger’s coaching staff with the Memphis Grizzlies since 2013, would give Joerger some familiarity and chemistry if Turner does decide to join Joerger in Sacramento.
