Earl Watson was a talented Bruin basketball player. Unfortunately, he had the bad timing of playing for UCLA when Steve Lavin was UCLA’s head coach. But, that said, I don’t hold that against him. I respect his contributions to the UCLA basketball program as a player.
Earlier tonight, ESPN’s Jordan Schulz sent out the following tweet:
Source: Former #UCLA star, 13-year NBA PG and NBA head coach Earl Watson interviewed for the Bruins’ HC position with the UCLA brass. Watson would bring w/him Larry Brown as a top assistant. Watson helped create Earl Watson Elite, which is now West Coast Elite.
