After a classic Scalabrine move to parody LeBron James’ “I’m coming Home” letter. It turns out that the White Mamba was offered an assistant coach position from the Golden State Warriors to assist new head coach Steve Kerr according to Brett Pollakoff of ProBasketballTalk.
It’s worth noting that new head coaches often like to hand pick their own staff members, and unless someone who served under the previous regime comes highly recommended by those in charge, it’s unusual that they would land a position once that leadership has changed hands.
But if nothing else, it shows that the Warriors front office valued Scalabrine’s contributions, and probably weren’t all that pleased with the way his time with the team came to a close.
If you don’t know, Scalabrine is now an analyst for Celtics Broadcasting. So it’s very fair to say that he’s “coming home”.
