ESPN star takes aim at JJ Redick, claims first-year coach acted 'childishly' before Lakers' NBA playoff exit

The Los Angeles Lakers faced scrutiny last June when the franchise decided to hire an inexperienced JJ Redick as the franchise's next head coach.

While Redick guided the Lakers to victory in a game against the Timberwolves in his coaching debut in October, Los Angeles came up short against Minnesota in the postseason. 

The Timberwolves held on for a 103-96 victory in Game 5 to eliminate the Lakers from playoff contention.

Several critics have questioned Redick's decision-making during the playoff series, especially his handling of the team's rotation. But ESPN's Brian Windhorst suggested the first-year Lakers head coach had issues regulating his emotions before Game 5 tipped off.
