Steve Nash has been fired by the Nets after two yers as a head coach. His former teammate Shawn Marion thinks that the two-time NBA MVP as a player should take an assistant coach role for a few years, despite having been a head coach for two years already.

He thinks that it would make sense for Nash to learn from other coaches to become a better coach himself and then try a head coaching position again in future.

“If he really wants to coach, he should go and try to be an assistant coach for a few years first,” Marion said on SiriusXM NBA Radio. “Get the intangibles and understanding of what it takes and get whatever he misses or didn’t have right now to excel with this team to where it’s supposed and get the production out of this team that they should have got and learn from it.”
