JJ Redick's coaching tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers has been a mixed bag from the start. When the Lakers hired Redick, they'd already been rejected by their first choice, UConn's Dan Hurley. While Redick's youth, personality, and apparent X's and O's knowledge excited some fans, others were deeply skeptical about his lack of head coaching experience.
Redick's debut regular season (50-32 record) didn't give fans a ton to complain about, but his sophomore performance certainly has. That is especially true with it following an underwhelming 4-1 series loss in the first round of last season's playoffs.
