the black coaches in the NBA right now, collectively, are fvcking awful.

Corbin.
Gentry.
Hollins.
Smart.
Jackson.
Just turrible.Comment -
Hollins is not all bad. Agree with the rest though.Comment -
I'm not impressed with Hollins. Never have been.Originally posted by Pauulzcappin
Don't get me wrong -- there are horrible white coaches in the league as well.
But this list doesn't do the stereotypes any favors.Comment -
Why are they awful no coin?Comment -
Grizzlies should do better in the regular season with all the talent they have. From 1 to 5 they have great talent and a bench player who would start in 2/3 of the league.Comment -
Sharp Thread actually.....But coaching all around is at an all-time low.....I can count on one hand the amount of actual GOOD NBA coaches right nowComment -
Have you watched the way they manage games?Originally posted by t-wizzle
Of course, part of the blame is putting these guys in HC positions before they are ready. Not sure you can make an argument that any of these cats were anywhere near "seasoned" enough to be NBA coaches.Comment -
True.Originally posted by MoneyLineDawgComment -
What do you mean by manage games?Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
players make coaches in the association and those coaches dont have much talent bro..guess spolstra and brooks are great coaches right?Comment -

Which of these coaches would you disagree with?
Add the two most recent Hawks coaches to the list -- Woodson and Drew. Forgot about them.Comment -
Maybe that's why these teams are so erratic -- egomaniac players aren't being "coached" at all.Originally posted by MidgetTossers
Maybe that should be the theme to this thread.Comment -
What caused you to make this thread? You thought the jazz were going to lose, right?Originally posted by No coincidences
It comes down to players, not coaches.Comment -
well i know i would be a better coach if i had lebron, dwade, bosh, durant, westbrook, etc...Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
Again, that's what's wrong with this league right now.Originally posted by t-wizzle
When's the last time a "players" team won an NBA title?Comment -
on another note..lebron passed the ball again with the game on the line..lolComment -
Not sure what a "players" team is... the Mavs were a better team last year but the Heat had better talent obviously. What is a "players" team?Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
Here's a question for all of you: do you think the Heat can win the NBA title with Spoelstra as their coach?Originally posted by MidgetTossersComment -
won't ever happen again..this isnt baseball or football we are talking about..thats why nba is 3rd in my eyes when it comes to sportsOriginally posted by No coincidencesComment -
no doubt in my mindOriginally posted by No coincidencesComment -
You just said it's a "players" league -- now you want to know what I mean by "players" teams?Originally posted by t-wizzle
The Mavs had Carlisle. The Heat had Spoelstra. The end.
Do you think it's just a coincidence that the NBA title is won year in and year out by teams with elite coaches?Comment -
So you think that, when the Heat get into inevitably tight playoff games against the Bulls or whoever comes out of the West, Spoelstra will deliver with late plays out of timeouts?Originally posted by MidgetTossersComment -
rick carlisle is elite?Comment -
Why did the pistons win when carlisle left? The Mavs had dirk. The Heat had lebron. The end.Originally posted by No coincidences
Did the Lakers not have the best team in '09 and '10?Comment -
Rick Carlisle is widely considered to be a great bench coach, yes.Originally posted by MidgetTossersComment -
sure..either he or his asst coaches will...they dont just hand out nba jobs to anyone and i trust that pat reilly of all people knows a bit more than us about coachingOriginally posted by No coincidencesComment -
It starts at the top from the owner, management, to coaching to the players. The players win but if the people in charge don't have a clue is doesn't mean squat.Comment -
Carlisle was getting there and he was a very good coach who won a lot of games in Detroit. Larry Brown had the championship pedigree and delivered a title. Carlisle was that much more seasoned when he coached the Mavs to the title last year.Originally posted by t-wizzle
Debatable.Did the Lakers not have the best team in '09 and '10?Comment -
i wouldnt put him anywhere near an elite coach but each to their ownOriginally posted by No coincidencesComment -
Which is why there are so many pretenders out there who can look great at times but really have no shot of winning a title.Originally posted by thebestthereis
Until they prove otherwise, the Heat fall into that category because they have a star who can't close and a head coach who doesn't have the experience necessary to win a championship.Comment -
By today's standards at least -- how many are better in the NBA?Originally posted by MidgetTossersComment -
Brown had pedigree, but not the pedigree of a winner, usually because he had inferior teams like the sixers in '01. He finally had a championship caliber team in detroit and he got it done. I'm not saying coaching doesn't matter because 2004 was a combination of a great team and a great coach but in the end I am a firm believer that it's players, not plays.Originally posted by No coincidences
Which teams were better in 2009/10 than the lakers?Comment -
The Heat and/or Thunder have every chance in the world to prove that this season, because if history proves anything, I wouldn't count out a Bulls/Spurs final.Originally posted by t-wizzleComment -
not sure but i wouldnt put him in the same category as phil jackson and larry brown, popovich to name a fewOriginally posted by No coincidencesComment
