From: SportingNews http://goo.gl/zi9bo Source: Chuck Person a candidate for Pacers head coaching job Los Angeles Lakers assistant Chuck Person has gotten a good bit of pub in the last couple of days, after head coach Phil Jackson — always known for his willingness to praise his assistants — noted that the team’s defensive surge over the last seven games should be credited to Person. Since the All-Star break, the Lakers have allowed 87.0 points per game and 40.3 percent shooting. “We kind of gave Chuck Person dedicated moments in practice to really work on our defense,” Jackson told reporters, according to the Los Angeles Times. “He’s been good with the guys and handled it really well. We’ve taken extra time defensively in practice rather than doing as much execution offensively as we have in the past.” Person was elevated to a full assistant’s role this year in L.A., which could pay off for him when teams start hiring head coaches in the summer. A source tells Sporting News that Person is expected to be a candidate for head coaching jobs next year, particularly the one in Indiana, where Person played six seasons. He also served as an assistant coach for the Pacers under Rick Carlisle, and was interviewed as a candidate when Indiana fired Carlisle. The team eventually brought in Jim O’Brien. “He’d be the ideal fit,” the source said. “A lot of it depends on how things shake out with Larry Bird and the front office. But Chuck is young and will bring a lot of energy. He will command the respect of players, he is really a good fit for a young team like that one.” Current Pacers coach Frank Vogel, who took over for O’Brien on an interim basis, has done a nice job, with the Pacers going 10-8 under his direction. He should, at least, get consideration for the job. Former Cavs coach and Pacers assistant Mike Brown, too, has been rumored to be under consideration in Indiana. 文章很短，前面大意是禅师赞许湖人近期的防守该归功於助理教练 Chuck Person。 而某个「消息来源」说 Chuck Person 很可能成为溜马下一任教头的人选，除了球员时 代的渊源外，他也担任过 Rick Carlisle 底下的助理教练，在卡帅去职後也曾面试过教 练的职位，不过球队最终选择了 Jim O'Brien。 除了 Person 之外可能的人选，还有现任教练 Frank Vogel，接手之後的成绩是 10-8， 作者认为他至少该被列入考量。另外，也有传言指出 Mike Brown 也是可能人选之一。 --
