Los Angeles Lakers hire Terry Stotts as next Head Coach

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed Terry Stotts to a multi-year contract as head coach, it was announced today by Vice President, Basketball Operations and General Manager Rob Pelinka. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.

Stotts, who has 13 seasons of experience as an NBA head coach and 13 seasons as an assistant coach, returns to the sidelines after serving as the Bucks head coach for parts of two seasons from 2005-07 and as an assistant coach from 1998-02. Most recently, Stotts spent nine seasons as head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers from 2012-21 where he led the team to eight consecutive postseason berths, including the franchise’s first trip to the Western Conference Finals in 19 years in 2019, and a 402-318 (.558) regular season record.

A native of Cedar Falls, Iowa, Stotts was also head coach of the Atlanta Hawks from 2002-04 and owns a 517-486 (.515) regular season record as an NBA head coach. His assistant coach experience includes stops with Seattle (1993-98), Atlanta (2002), Golden State (2004-05) and Dallas (2008-12), in addition to his four seasons as an assistant with Milwaukee. In his 26 seasons as a coach in the NBA, Stotts has been part of teams that made the playoffs 21 times, including nine times as a head coach, while reaching the NBA Finals twice and winning an NBA Championship with Dallas in 2011.

A four-year starter at the University of Oklahoma, Stotts played professionally in the CBA, Italy, Spain and France before beginning his coaching career in the CBA in 1990.
