There's definitely some privilege to how Kerr went from commentating, to being an exec, to becoming HC but I think that path is why it doesn't feel weird that he's outsourced the Xs and Os to great assistants. That's a continuation of his management style as an exec.

Lue's had more experience directing Xs and Os so I expect more of him in terms of that but there's no reason he couldn't outsource everything like Kerr if he wanted to.

I'm just saying that LeBron deservedly gets alot of coaching credit as well so its hard for me to tell what Lue brings to the table. He hasn't developed some signature offensive or defensive strategy as far as I know so it seems like he should just be evaluated on his ability to build a coaching staff and connect with the players.
