Frank Hamblin lakers coach calls out kobe will he still be the coach next year?

[ducks]

Kobe Bryant missed a chance to save the reeling Los Angeles Lakers from another loss.

With 6.7 seconds remaining and the Lakers trailing the San Antonio Spurs 95-94, Bryant got a favorable matchup against the older and slower Robert Horry.

But instead of taking the ball inside, the Lakers' star guard opted for a pump-fake and an 18-footer that bounced off the back of the rim at the buzzer to hand Los Angeles its 10th loss in 11 games.

``I wanted Kobe to drive to the basket,'' Lakers coach Frank Hamblin said. ``And then when Robert switched over to him, I really wanted him to drive to the hoop.''

Perhaps he had in mind what Brent Barry did seconds earlier for the winning score.

Well, they skipped the last part of the quote where Hamblin praises Kobe.



"I wanted Kobe (Bryant) to drive to the basket, and then when Robert (Horry) switched over to him I really wanted him to drive to the hoop. When you put the ball in a great player’s hands like Kobe it is their decision to make.”

No he will not be the coach, this guy is a terrible coach and his team went south on him from the get go.
