Who didn't see this coming?

LaVar Ball is set to serve as the assistant coach for his sons' Lithuanian basketball team on Tuesday night in a Big Baller Challenge contest.


A Big Baller Challenge contest. LaVar is already taking over Lithuanian basketball.

LiAngelo and LaMelo's team, Vytautas, will play against BC Dzukija in the BBC, which is a series of five friendly games that do not count in the standings. Apparently, the team put this together to give the Ball brothers playing time against other players their age.

"He will be an assistant coach on game protocol but will drive the team through the game and make many of the decisions," a Vytautas team spokesman told ESPN. "The style the team is going to play is going to be LaVar's choice."

Head coach Virginijus Seskus told ESPN through a translator, "LaVar wants the team to play fast. He also has an idea for a new way for the team to play defense, so we're going to try it out tonight. Today we'll be like two equal coaches, but this will only be for the friendly match. We'll see how it goes today."

I've got news for you, Seskus, you will not be like two equal coaches. LaVar runs this show now and before you know it he'll take your job.

"Why not let him do it? It's only a friendly match," Seskus continued. "It will end, and everyone will forget about it."

Famous last words.
