Lakers will not pursue Derek Fisher for coaching job
By Mike Bresnahan

- Lakers want a coach with NBA coaching experience, which rules out Derek Fisher
- Lakers' decision to go with experienced NBA coach ends their thought of interviewing a college coach
- There is only a 50-50 chance the Lakers hire a coach by the June 26 draft

The Lakers have decided they need a coach with previous NBA coaching experience, which means one thing for Derek Fisher: He isn't a candidate.

The Lakers think Fisher will be a solid NBA coach or executive at some point, but their initial curiosity about him has been replaced by a desire for actual experience, the latest turn in a deliberately slow coaching search approaching the six-week mark.

...

The Lakers currently have no interviews scheduled for the early part of next week and there is only a 50-50 chance they hire a coach by the June 26 draft, according to a person familiar with the situation.

They own the seventh pick in the draft and then enter free agency a handful of days later with only three players under contract (Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Robert Sacre).
