Luke Walton got hired pretty quickly compared to Wes Unseld Jr, Nick Nurse, or Stephen Silas. Thibs and Budenholzer put a decade of assistant work, developing players and implenting defensive schemes. Even Chauncey Billups, despite the lack of formal coaching resume, has leadership skills and NBA experience that supports the opportunity to coach.
Luke has the pedigree but not the experience, and the resume but not the actual skills -so far- to be an effective head coach. Sacramento is the worst place for him to be, with it's short-term planning and chaotic management.
