Lindsey Harding named new Stockton Kings head coach. Anjali new GM
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
people gonna freak out but this is still basically an operations job and someday Vivek gonna die (even with great healthcare some mega rich people can't help themselves from doing dumb stuff according to the news today) and she will run the team so I'd say good that she's learning in stockton not with the mothership, but nepobaby whaaah.
yeah but I still see a lot of I hate the rich chatter. lol. ok. they still pass their businesses on to their kids.
I'm more curious about the coach. Is she the first female head coach in G-League (my guess is no the way the press lease was made)? Still pretty exciting and awesome for her. Who will take her spot on the bench?

I mean, yeah, it's absolutely nepotism why she has this opportunity in the first place, but I do think this is exact right thing for the health of the club. I'd much rather have an owner with operational experience running a basketball franchise than not and I think it's pretty obvious she's being groomed to step in for Vivek at some point.
Yeah, this is kind of my thought as well. Like, wouldn't Monte have the final say of who he wants on his developmental squad? And like which guys are playing? There's no drafting, no trading.
I imagine the Stockton GM role is more the day to day business stuff but the final decisions still rest with the big league front office and Monte. In a similar fashion to AAA, they're going to follow whatever the big league club overall direction is.

Nobody should be surprised or shocked by any of this.
Harding was a finalist for the Stockton gig when Bobby Jackson got it. Odds were that it was her turn now.
As for Anjali, we already know Vivek subscribes to nepotism. Maybe she’s partially qualified, perhaps she’s not. But make no mistake, she wouldn’t have this job or the last one if not for being Vivek’s daughter. There’s no other way to spin it.
Harding, on the other hand, does have vast experience in the sport and put in a lot of time to work her way up the player development/coaching ladder the past 5+ years. No nepotism there.
We’ll see how it all works out.

Anjali is the third woman to be named GM of a Gleague team. All three women were 30 or younger. The second woman got her start selling tickets for the Kings in the Malone era. Anjali now has one year of hands on experience ( a successful year team wise) and several years being around a professional sports team. Considering her dad went to MIT and Harvard she is probably intelligent. It’s a good opportunity for her and really has no impact on the Kings.
