Suppose it was only a matter of time before LaVar Ball flexed his coaching muscles officially.

Coach Seskus told that LaVar Ball will try to realize his ideas about more up-tempo basketball with more threes: "He'll try his system. I want to look at some things more closely. Maybe he'll motivate the players for Big Baller Brand Challenge Games"

According to ESPN, LaVar Ball will actually have the same powers as the head coach.
“He will be an assistant coach on game protocol but will drive the team through the game and make many of the decisions. The style the team is going to play is going to be LaVar’s choice,” Vytautas representative told to ESPN.
