NBA Hall-of-Fame point guard Gary Payton has agreed to become the head men's basketball coach at Lincoln University, the school announced this past Friday.
Lincoln University is a small private school in Payton’s hometown of Oakland, California.
“It’s a startup program and a private independent school where I can establish what I want to establish,” Payton told Marc J.
