Wonder when he'll retire and join the staff at Ingraham high school?

It figures he wouldn't coach a Portland high school.

Too far a commute?

"OK, kids hear are the most important things you need to learn:
1) be able to use your off hand - dribbling and shooting.
2) Before you shoot 3s, perfect the midrange step-back.
3) If your knees are shot and you want a new contract, negotiate through the media....."

The great news from this is we can rule him out of being our color commentator.

Not a bad first gig. He'll be coaching two highly rated recruits that are the sons of UW's newest assistant coach and at least one is romar's godson. I'm guessing this is a audition for the UW staff.

Has Roy been exposed to any system other than two, those of Nate McMillan and Lorenzo Romar? His knowledge is limited because of his short career. He needs to be an assistant under a couple of college head coaches to learn other ways of doing things. And not immediately a head coach. That hurt McMillan, too. He was an assistant for only one season.

Just heard this on the fan. Guess it came out yesterday....

Brandon Roy expected to be named Garfield basketball coach

Seattle Times high school sports coordinator


Shortly after leading Nathan Hale to state and national titles, Brandon Roy is expected to leave the Raiders to become the boys basketball coach at his alma mater, Garfield.

A source with knowledge of the situation told The Seattle Times on Thursday about the move. Seattle Public Schools could not confirm the hiring.

The Garfield High Sports Twitter account also confirmed the hiring.

Former Garfield coach Ed Haskins tweeted a congratulations Thursday. Haskins took an assistant coaching job at Washington State, which opened the position for Roy.

Garfield retired Roy’s No. 4 in 2016. He went onto to be an All-American at Washington and Rookie of the Year with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Roy was coach at Nathan Hale for one season, leading a squad that included seven transfers, including the top-ranked player in the nation in Michael Porter Jr., to a 29-0 record and a win over Garfield in the Class 3A state championship game in March.

Hale had seen little basketball success over the previous 20 years. Hale, which was 3-18 in 2015-16, hadn’t been to state since a sixth-place finish in 1994. The Raiders routinely finished toward the bottom of the ultracompetitive Metro League.

Roy has had an eventful offseason as he was reportedly shot while in Compton, Calif., in late April. Roy has yet to confirm the shooting or provide details of what happened.

You mean he looks fat? He doesn't but his cheeks do. Wonder if he takes some medicine for his knees? Pure speculation on my part.
