I have a hard time believing Pop would put him on his staff if he didn't respect his basketball smarts. Spoelstra and Mark Few certainly aren't dummies.
Maybe. But (lots of pure speculation coming) ...
Maybe his expected role is similar to what it seemed to be in Dallas - ie, less about X's and O's (since they have incredible experts in those areas already) and more about running drills and being the "camp counselor" to some stars. Not saying he's necessarily "an Xs and Os dunce" but it takes various differing strengths to handle a team, and it's entirely possible the X s and Os are NOT his strength, but he's needed for other skills.
A head coach wears a lot of hats, and usually needs help with some.
That also touches on maybe why he hasn't landed a head coach job - ie, while his "camp counselor" skills are apparently great, maybe his ability to navigate relationships with those above him in the pecking order is iffy. Supposedly RC didn't like or trust him; I can't imagine a GM or owner wanting to give the keys to a guy who he wasn't sure he liked or could trust.
