Josh Smith
The Orchestrator
Scaling people and moving parts into one working whole.
Josh Smith earns The Orchestrator designation through his fixation on how influence moves between generations. He speaks in granular detail about Antoine Walker, Kenny Anderson, and Kevin Willis shaping him, and treats that lineage as a debt now being repaid through his youth Celtics coaching role.
“I came in as a sponge. Mentally I was confident in myself, but humbly knowing that I didn't know ship. I wanted to be able to learn.”
“These guys are learning on the fly and they don't have the veterans to be able to put them down on the knowledge of what they need to know in order to be who society wants them to be.”
“I might as well give off the information that was passed on to me to these kids, because no disrespect to these other coaches, but they haven't seen and done what I've done.”
