J.R. Reid learning the ropes of coaching

Posted Jun 20, 2010
The relaxed pace of retirement has been enjoyable for J.R. Reid, but there's only so much fishing and watching television that he can do. Reid, 42, a former UNC and Charlotte Hornets player, recently called Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown to ask how he might get involved in coaching. Brown advised Reid, whose 12-year, six-team NBA career ended in 2001, to get in touch with the NBA Players Association and enter its coaching internship program. (Raleigh News & Observer)
