He went back and forth. College assistant, then ABA/NBA head coach, then UCLA,
then NBA again, then College (won title), then NBA (eventually won title), then college again 🙂

Do we have an example of a college coach successfully jumping to the NBA?

Yeah. I think Lakers would be happy with a few years of Stevens-level coaching

He’s probably the best example. Those OKC teams got pretty far too.

Larry Brown. NCAA title 1988, NBA title 2004. Only one to ever win both.
