The college basketball season concluded this week, on the court at least, and one former NBA great is sold on becoming a college coach after a dose of March Madness. Byron Scott, who starred for the Los Angeles Lakers during the ‘Showtime’ era of the 1980s, says he’s ready to coach again and wouldn’t mind landing at an HBCU.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Scott said watching the NCAA Tournament the past few years has him ready to return to the sidelines.
“I got that bug watching the last couple years of March madness. The passion and love that I have for this game I know I can definitely help a university or an HBCU in the right direction. It’s just something that I love to do. I love teaching, I love mentorship, I love the game of basketball and I know that I still have a lot to give. College is something that I’ve been thinking about the last couple of years and I’d love to have that opportunity,” Scott said.
