put this in one of the other million threads on Walton:
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/154336...It's probably the only job he would've left Golden State for. Yes, he planned to interview elsewhere for the experience. You never know if one of those jobs would've piqued his interest. But being head coach of the Lakers has been his dream ever since Phil Jackson used to let him sit in on coaches meetings when he was a role player for the franchise from 2003-11.
