Does Tyronn Lue Deserve to Coach the 2016 Eastern Conference All-Stars?

A loophole in the selection of who earns the right to be the head coach in the NBA All-Star game has allowed newly installed Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue to call the shots for the Eastern All-Stars this February.

Lue was immediately announced as the Cavs new head coach after the unceremonious firing of David Blatt.

Thus far, Lue is 2-1 as head coach but will nevertheless be named as the East All-Stars head coach due to an NBA ruling on the assignment of who qualifies to call the shots.

“Head coaches whose teams have the best records in each conference following the games played two weeks prior to the All-Star Game serve as the All-Star Game head coaches, but no head coach is allowed to participate in two consecutive All-Star Games.”
