In episode 271, Max chats with Utah Jazz Assistant Coach Scott Morrison!
From coaching university basketball in Canada to taking a year away from his job to volunteer in the NBA D-League, Scott reflects on the unlikely journey that eventually took him to the NBA.
We dive into contacting all 30 NBA teams looking for an opportunity, receiving just one rejection while the remaining teams ignored him, driving buses and doing laundry for the Maine Red Claws, and the unexpected opportunity that led to him becoming Head Coach of the Celtics' D-League affiliate.
Scott also takes us behind the scenes of his time in Boston, working alongside Brad Stevens, how their contrasting coaching styles changed his approach to leadership, the emergence of Jayson Tatum, the Celtics' remarkable run to the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals, and interviewing for the Boston head coaching position following Stevens' move into the front office.
Morrison opens up on his move to Australia, the pressure of replacing Trevor Gleeson at the Perth Wildcats, coaching through COVID, working with Bryce Cotton and Jesse Wagstaff, and the difficult end to the season that brought the club's historic playoff streak to an end.
Plus, we discuss the Utah Jazz entering a new phase ahead of the 2026–27 NBA season, Will Hardy's leadership, Ace Bailey and Darryn Peterson, the expectations surrounding Utah's young roster, and the lessons Scott has learned throughout his coaching career.
A fascinating conversation on the NBA, Brad Stevens, the Boston Celtics, the Perth Wildcats, leadership, resilience, player development and building a winning culture.
