Why would anybody take a coaching job over a cushy spot in the studio?
People want to challenge themselves. I get that. But what's the real success percentage of players who enter the coaching ranks straight from being a player, with no experience at all being an assistant on a staff or working with a college team? It's gotta be really low. I can't think of many players who just decided to start coaching one day who have had real success.
Larry Bird had one or two good Pacers teams in the late 90s but then left. That's about it.
