Nash: the coaching itch was always there. I love to teach. I love to compete

Nash signed a four-year deal with the Nets

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash talks with The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears about his new challenge.

“the coaching itch was always there. The why is that I love to teach. I love to learn,” Nash told Spears. “I love being part of a team and building a team. And I love to compete. It has all the ingredients in terms of satisfying growing as a person, leading a team and a group of people. Learning from the people and the game. Being part of an organization and a culture. And then competition. Those are the ingredients that excite me and put me in a position to be thrilled to take this opportunity”

The Brooklyn Nets have named Steve Nash as the 23rd head coach in the franchise’s NBA history.
