The Bulls, the Knicks, the Celtics, The Lakers 76er's etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Charisma 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 BEST: Pat Riley. It pains me to say that, but he is the only one that has proven that he can compete and win while completely changing his style of play based upon personnel (i.e. - Lakers showtime; Knicks/Heat - slowtime). WORST: Paul Westhead. Scott Skiles had 30 assists against his team. Enough said. (Thought I'd say Brian Hill, didn't ya !?!?!?!) MOST OVERRATED: Don Nelson. Would somebody please tell me what this guy has ever won? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rafael17222 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 I'm shocked!! this thread has been open for almost 2 hours and no one has mentioned Brian Hill as the worst coach (but the day is still young!! LOL) I have to agree with Phil Jackson being one of the best and Chris Jent being among one of the worse. But to be fair to Chris, we was thrown into the role.

bhnole 153 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 Best - Detroit Piston's Chuck Daly - Built one hell of a team Worst - Orlando Magic's Chuck Daly - For what they paid him, he spent more time planning tee times instead of game plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nbr 15 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 From those I have witnessed - Best - Phil Jackson (Jordan or not you still have to get the job done) Worst - Doc Rivers will do. Never really followed coaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Solution 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME RED AUERBACH Reaction to the Passing of Red Auerbach Oct. 28, 2006 -- The Boston Celtics announced the sudden passing of President Arnold "Red" Auerbach. Auerbach, 89, was born on September 20, 1917, and passed away Saturday in Washington, D.C. ? Auerbach left his mark as a coach and executive. NBAE/Getty Images He was responsible for 16 World Championships, and was considered the greatest coach who ever lived. The Celtics are dedicating this upcoming season in his memory. The cigar-chomping Auerbach was an aggressive, challenging and often explosive mentor who coached 11 Hall of Famers, including Bob Cousy and Bill Russell, and led Boston to 10 Eastern Division titles in 16 years. "Red Auerbach was the consummate teacher, leader, and a true pioneer of the sport of basketball," said NBA Commissioner David Stern. "The NBA wouldn't be what it is today without him."

What's more amazing is that I would really love to say that, but it would not be an honest opinion. That is the reason I didn't go with the poll or qualifying questions. Now do not confuse that with a vote of confidence or something along those lines..........that would be even more dishonest!!!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
