Lloyd Pierce

Lloyd Daniel Pierce (born May 11, 1976) is an American basketball coach who serves as the lead assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Quotes I thought I was hired into a leadership position with the Atlanta Hawks. This is a different leadership position I’ve been called to in the offseason, I’ve done way more interviews, way more speaking engagements, I’ve spoken to every head coach moreso than I’ve done in my 13 years in the last three months. Working on yourself and understanding what your ultimate purpose is [important], One day, the Atlanta Hawks are going to say ‘we’re going to move on.’ Nothing changes with me now, I have a different sense of purpose about what leadership really looks like. When you’re charged with something that’s greater than yourself, and you embrace that, that’s leadership. How do you get your guys to buy into it? That’s something I’m working on. It isn’t schemes, I tell you guys that all the time, you can have the greatest schemes in the world and then take it to a different team and those schemes don’t work, It really isn’t the schemes, it’s the effort. It’s the commitment, it’s the ability to work as a unit. I love the fact [Capela] is really empowering the voice moreso than the coverage, and that’s going to be tremendous for us moving forward. You guys think I’m a sh---y defensive coach, and I’m doing the same thing, It’s just about defense. Nothing has changed, you just have to adapt to your team, adapt to your personnel and you’ve got to figure out how to get these guys to adapt to each other. It takes time, and even with Clint. Even though he uses his voice, he still has to get used to who he’s talking to and how they respond and react to him. They’ve got to get used to talking to him and what they want for him to do. This is the beauty of these weeks. These two weeks that we have, they’re just going to get to talk to each other. They’re going to get to be around each other, and they’re going to get something out of that.
