Faced with this situation, West made a key decision that would have been difficult for someone with less self-confidence: instead of the usual single aide, he hired two experienced assistant coaches. Jack McCloskey, former Portland Trail Blazer coach, directs the Lakers' defensive training; Stan Albeck, who once coached with Wilt Chamberlain and who helped develop Artis Gilmore into...
