It's obviously Larry Brown. He's got the highest payroll in the league and he can't do anything with it. Link to post Share on other sites

keith crime 8 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 yeah simmons dis on doc is clasicbut lets be fair and say isaiah was both the worst coach and worst exec of all timeLarry Brown got the clippers to the playoffs not much you can fault him for after that Link to post Share on other sites

It's a trifecta.I was kidding about Larry Brown. I think it says a lot about Isiah's ineptitude that Larry Brown has succeeded everywhere he's been except New York. Link to post Share on other sites
keith crime 8 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 i do think larry has probably done a crappy job this yearwhen you don't have the talent to run your system you run another system see Don Shula with Dan MarinoLarry would rather lose the right way than win wrong but clearly he's trying to sabatage zeke which i can't really argue with on any rational level Link to post Share on other sites

Azreous 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Larry Brown has had a good career, but he's been absolutely horrible this year. Yes, Isiah gave him a piece of **** roster to work with, but at the same time, he rotates players in and out of the lineup like musical chairs. How is it you give so few minutes to Frye, Ariza (before he was traded) and Robinson? What possible good does Eddy Curry and his atrocious assist/turnover ratio do playing 30+ minutes a game? And why would you ever put Rose, Marbury and Crawford on the floor at the same time? Link to post Share on other sites

He's doing a damn good job winning a few games while staying en route to grabbing a first pick I can't believe the Knicks gave up Kurt Thomas for Quentin Richardson. "Hmm...our new coach loves solid, aggressive defense. Let's give 'im a perimeter shooter." Good god what a jopke.... Link to post Share on other sites

He's going to be grabbing a first pick for the Bulls because the Knicks traded their's to the Bulls. And it's not lottery protected either, great job Isiah Link to post Share on other sites
keith crime 8 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 If Isaiah Thomas is running your team - you will never be in the lottery oh sure your team will be one of the worst but he'll have traded the pick for some guy with a huge contract that everyone thought would be a star 5 years agoI will say he has never made a trade as bad as the Ted StepienLottery picks for guys from expansion drafts - Mike Bratz! - he was the king Link to post Share on other sites
LAS22 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'm still a fan of the concept that players win or lose games. Granted coaches are an important part, but I've never seen a coach miss a FT or a defensive assignment that caused his team to lose the game.Also, most coaches have little control over the amount of talent they have. Any coach looks bad when his team has very little ability. Link to post Share on other sites

Any coach looks bad when his team has very little ability.Coaching is all about putting your players in the best position to succeed. Maybe the coach hasn't blown a defensive assignment, but maybe he put a bad defensive player in a key defensive position. Maybe he didn't miss the free throw, but maybe he shouldn't have had their worst free throw shooter out on the floor trying to protect a one-point lead with 5 seconds left.The majority of credit/blame should go to the players, but coaches can make a huge difference.

runthemover 40 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 warriors fans know the truth. worst coach is whoever sits in our chair. right now it's mike montgomery (what a crappy signing by Mulllin btw) Link to post Share on other sites

runthemover 40 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 yea muss was ok, we had no good players when he was around. problem was players didnt listen to him after a while. i'd like a proven NBA coach that the players will respect (at least a bit) instead of the college coaches or guys that dont have head coach experience we always hire Link to post Share on other sites

It happens a lot in HS and sometimes in college. Coaches do make a difference, but ultimately when you make a few million a season (speaking about the NBA), you should be able to perform at a very high level. Link to post Share on other sites
