Larsa Pippen, the reality TV star and ex-wife of NBA legend Scottie Pippen, has never shied away from sharing details of her high-profile love life. But her latest revelation about dating an NBA coach who was “so immature” has sent the internet buzzing—and comes just as she celebrates a new romance with her much younger boyfriend, 31-year-old basketball player Jeff Coby.
The NBA Coach Who Didn’t Make the Cut
On a recent episode of Angela Yee’s “Lip Service” podcast, Larsa opened up about her dating experiences, candidly describing a brief relationship with a 47-year-old NBA coach. Despite his age and professional status, Larsa didn’t hold back in calling him out for his lack of maturity.

“I dated a guy that was 47 years old, before I dated Jeff, and he was so immature,” Larsa Pippen confessed. “When I broke up with him, I said to him, ‘There’s a reason why I dated you,’ and he was like, ‘Why?’ and I was like, ‘Just to prove age ain’t nothing but a number. I’ll never date anyone like you again.’”She recounted how the unnamed coach tried to win her back with expensive gifts rather than genuine commitment and had a history of wasting women’s time in relationships. Larsa’s blunt assessment: “He wasted her time, like ‘Bro, you wasted her time, had a kid with her and didn’t marry her, so chances are, that’s just who you’re gonna be forever.’”While she never revealed the coach’s identity, her comments sparked speculation among fans and fueled lively debates online.
