My Take

Nineteen years as an NBA assistant before a head-coaching shot tells me everything I need to know about Kokoškov. This is a craftsman, not a celebrity. From Belgrade to the Phoenix Suns to Fenerbahçe in Turkey and back to the Dallas Mavericks, he has built a career on patience and a relentless love of the game rather than on flashy headlines. I am always more moved by the people who refine others than by those who only shine themselves. A 194-centimeter Serbian basketball lifer who keeps circling the globe to teach the sport is precisely the kind of grinder I respect.

Overview
