Former Warriors assistant coach Jerry Stackhouse has garnered consideration as a head coach this offseason after parting ways with Golden State. Although the Chicago Bulls were among the first teams linked to Stackhouse, another franchise has emerged as a possible destination. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, Stackhouse will interview with the Portland Trail Blazers this weekend.
If Stackhouse were to land the job, it’d mark his first opportunity as an NBA head coach. However, the former 18-year veteran has plenty of experience. In addition to working under Steve Kerr, Stackhouse won a G-League championship with Raptors 905, worked as an assistant with the Memphis Grizzlies and spent four seasons as head coach at Vanderbilt University.
