Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Gary Payton has agreed to become the head coach of Lincoln University in his hometown of Oakland, Calif.
The nine-time NBA All-Star reportedly accepted a multi-year deal to launch the program at a school that has been in existence since 1919. It s a startup program and a private independent school where I can establish what I want to establish, Payton told The Undefeated. I don t have to go behind anybody to try to make a program become something or keep it going. I can start it off with my own program with what I want to happen.
