Doing a bit of a deep dive on Will Weaver

Apparently he is a very analytics based coach, and tried to institute the Rockets philosophy of layups, threes, and FT’s

But he is considered by his peers to be a defensive minded coach

Excels in turn d into o, like the Warriors 👀🤔
Also, he had a great relationship with Sam Hinkie during his time at Sam Houston State

Hinkie hired him as AC before he hired Brett Brown and he was a huge part of the “process”

He was hired to the Nets as AC because of his experience on a rebuilding team

Timeline on 💯
After that, he was named head coach of the Nets G League

In his first season he lead his team to 7 more wins and the G League final

In Sydney he improved his team by 2 wins, finishing the season with the best record, before falling 2-1 in the Final and losing due to COVID
Lachlan Everett (writer for Hoopshabit) referred to him as the “NBA’s best kept secret”

Later saying that he “is one of the most intelligent basketball minds I have even interacted with”

And “his intimate knowledge of the game, especially international players is impeccable”
