Sharman New Lakers Coach Aims For Title and Free Throw Help
New Lakers coach Bill Sharman said he believes any player can improve, especially at the free throw line, and he plans to help Wilt Chamberlain. Sharman, USC product, signed a five year deal reportedly around 70 000 annually and faces a pending 5 million lawsuit from the Utah Stars. K C Jones will serve as assistant coach, joining Sharman as the first full time Lakers coach with an assistant. The Lakers deny any Wilt Chamberlain trade and aim for the world championship with a healthy roster featuring Chamberlain, Baylor, and West in their mid to late thirties.
