Over the next few weeks, The Inquirer will roll out introductory Q&As with the new assistants on Nick Nurse’s staff. First up is Rico Hines, who spent last season with the Toronto Raptors.
Nick Nurse is about to begin his first season as the 76ers’ coach. But he will not be the only new face on the team’s bench.
How does that summer work — and the relationships built with players — translate to an NBA bench? Which Sixer stood out in that environment this past summer? And how will the Sixers build out their player-development program? As far as getting acclimated, it’s gym, food, home, back to the gym again. I haven’t had a chance to really explore the city or anything like that. It’s all hoop for me. I love doing it. I’m extremely grateful that I get a chance to do it every day, so I try to take advantage of it.
As far as my role, being an assistant coach but, at the same time‚ my expertise has always been in development. Just being that “head coach” of development that likes to call it, but at the same time, leading and motivating and teaching and continuing to grow as a coach myself. And the relationship side of it, as well. I’ve had an opportunity to be doing this a long time, and spent a lot of time with a lot of these different guys — and a lot of different guys around the league — all summer.
