Beginning of his new career: Hines joined the staff of the Nets

He started his new career immediately after his retirement Kyle Hines. The “legend” of the Euroleague and former player of Olympiakos joined the technical staff of the Brooklyn Nets, by his side Jordi Fernandez.

The veteran center already has some experience as an assistant coach. During the Summer League in Las Vegas last summer, he served as an assistant coach for the Brooklyn Netswho were apparently convinced by what they saw and offered him one position in the normal group.

Of course, this is a rare development, as it is difficult for a player to find such a good “job” in coaching, so soon after his retirement. This gives a big head start to the Hineswho will have the opportunity to work at the top level and move up, as it is not uncommon for assistants to become first coaches in the top league of the planet.

In fact, in the first game in his new role he met with his former agent, Misko Raznatovicwho made a related post on Instagram, writing: “My first NBA game of the year was also my first meeting with Kyle Hines in his new role! Kyle, one of my agency’s signature players and one of the biggest EuroLeague legends, joined the Brooklyn Nets coaching staff after his career ended.

It’s very unusual to see him in America instead of Europe, at an NBA game instead of a EuroLeague game, on the sideline in a coach’s uniform instead of on the court in a game jersey. It’s time to get used to these changes and I’m sure Kyle will be just as successful in this new role – that part won’t change.”
