After splitting from Darvin Ham, the Los Angeles Lakers are searching for a new head coach. They've got their sights set on Miami Heat assistant coach Chris Quinn as they work through the process of selecting the right coach for its team.

In the world of NBA coaching, Chris Quinn may not be a household name, but his career trajectory demands notice. Having played professionally in the past, Quinn was a member of the Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets, San Antonio Spurs, and Cleveland Cavaliers during his time in the NBA. Quinn made the switch from playing to coaching, beginning as the University of Northwestern's assistant coach. He rejoined the Miami Heat in 2014, this time in the role of coach, and has been working hard ever since under Erik Spoelstra's guidance.

Quinn's ability to interact with players, his meticulous attention to detail, and his strong work ethic have all been hallmarks of his time with the Miami Heat. Quinn has refined his skills and gained the respect of his colleagues in the organization by closely collaborating with Spoelstra, who is well-known for his inventive coaching techniques. It is impossible to overestimate his contributions to Miami's success, especially in terms of player development and strategic planning.
