The Los Angeles Lakers concluded their abysmal season on Sunday night with an overtime win against the Denver Nuggets. Malik Monk and Austin Reeves were in top form. The two players were probably the only positives from this season along with LeBron James. The 37-year-old legend, in his 19th season, was consistent and displayed tremendous scoring form.

But before the game ended, the rumors and reports came out of the head coach losing his job. Frank Vogel led his side to the NBA championship in 2020. However the 2021-22 season was miserably below par. The decision was already taken by the Lakers board and Frank Vogel was surprisingly unaware. In the post-game interview, the reporters asked him about his future and he blatantly answered that he was not informed.

Pointing the blame on a single player or only the coach is not fair. Basketball is a team game and the season they just had was a responsibility of every person representing the yellow and purple jersey. So only changing the coach would not automatically mean success for the team next season.

Having said that, they needed to revamp the team, and this is a start. Now the front office of the Lakers is in search of a new coach. However, it won’t be easy as a top coach has potentially refused the offer.

Quin Snyder has shown little interest in coaching the Lakers

The Lakers are on the lookout for a new coach in the market but the way they treated Frank Vogel may have pushed away a potential candidate. According to the Los Angeles Times’ Broderick Turner, Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder has become less interested in the Lakers’ job because of how the team handled Vogel’s firing. 

The fans destroyed the Lakers’ poor management as they reacted to Quin Snyder potentially turning down the offer.
