And that’s why players were so happy for the assistant coach that they won all five games while Fleming served as acting head coach when Donovan landed in the league’s health and safety protocols. “He did a helluva job,” DeRozan said. “We congratulated him in the locker room. He held it down as best as you would want a coach to hold it down in the absence of our head coach. We were so happy for him. We wanted to give him the best resume as possible being a head coach out there. He made it fun for us. He made it easy for us. He trusted us as player to still be ourselves. That’s all you can ask for.”

He’ll have them overachieve, outhustle and outwork teams on a nightly basis. They will be physical, smart, and tough to guard because they will share the ball. Plus, he’s a no-nonsense, direct, fair coach who relates very well to players. He’d be my pick.” In Chicago, Atkinson would be reunited with assistant coach Chris Fleming, whom he worked with for three seasons in Brooklyn.
