If Golden State Warriors big man Draymond Green goes into coaching once his playing career is over, it probably won’t surprise too many.
The Warriors center often offers up tactical advice for his peers playing in other games, and did as much for the Boston Celtics in their Game 2 tilt with the Miami Heat in their East Finals series.
The Celtics have struggled to match up with Heat center Bam Adebayo and Green offered a solution a little reminiscent of his own role with the Golden State.
“Boston need to go with Grant Williams at the 5. Put [Jaylen Brown] on Herro. Switch the pick and roll, that will take away the Bam dive,” he opined on Twitter.

Not long afterwards, head coach Brad Stevens did indeed put in the rookie out of Tennessee, and the general — if not exact — approach produced for the Celtics as they dug their way out of a double-digit deficit.
While Green likely still has a fair number of seasons left in his playing career if not more, he ought to consider moving to the other side of the clipboard once his legs won’t let him keep playing.
