Vinny Del Negro Rumors
Former UConn stars Ray Allen and Renee Montgomery have been named winners of the 2021 Mannie Jackson Award, presented annually by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for outstanding humanitarian efforts. Former North Carolina State standout and NBA coach and player Vinny Del Negro, who attended Suffield Academy, also received this year’s award.

Del Negro, a former NBA player who hasn’t coached since being let go by the Clippers in 2013, has obviously been busy away from basketball lately, though. Sunday afternoon he won the American Century Championship at Tahoe, the annual golf event for entertainers and athletes. It has long been considered the top celebrity golf tournament.
Blazers considering Vinny Del Negro, Scott Brooks, Lionel Hollins for lead assistant role

Vinny Del Negro: Every NBA team approaches their search for a head coach differently, and no two searches are the same. Here are a few things to consider or put into perspective when it comes to NBA teams’ coaching searches.

In some interviews, they just want to talk about your philosophies (as far as basketball and life in general). They might ask you what changes can be made to the roster. It all just depends on that team’s way of doing things.
