Andy Enfield isn’t dumb. He knew what he was getting into when he recruited Bronny James. He knew that if he could land Bronny, he would face exponentially more media scrutiny than at any previous point in his coaching career.
Keep in mind that Enfield has coached in the Elite Eight. He took Florida Gulf Coast to the Sweet 16 as a No. 15 seed. As the coach of “Dunk City,” he was hugely in demand as a figure media outlets wanted to talk to. Enfield has dealt with surges in visibility and attention from national and Los Angeles-based media organizations.
Yet, nothing will compare to coaching LeBron James’ son and having LeBron attend USC games at the Galen Center when he can. Everything will exist on a whole new level.
As Justin Mendoza of USA TODAY Sports notes, Enfield has begun to talk about this new world and assess what it will be like to coach the son of LeBron and Savannah James, two proud basketball parents with big expectations.
