Who is the worst coach in Spurs history?

[xmas1997]

I say Cotton Fitzsimons.

Maybe we should have a poll with Pop, Cotton, Hill, Doug Moe, & Bob Bass.

Or maybe I should have asked who is the best coach in Spurs history with the same candidates.:hat

I don't know how to post a "poll".

Yeah, I guess I had a moment of sadism, or rather masochism! Sorry!:yield

[Gervin44Silas13]

Tark..... he wanted to make Lloyd Daniels the focus of the Spurs

I agree, I forgot about him when I said Cotton.

If you don't say Pop ur a blind homer popsuckerSMH... I hate being in your mind all the time.

[bigfan]

Tark probably shouldn't even qualify as a Spurs coach he was here so short a time. I vote Rotten Fitzsimmons, that guy just plain sucked here. They liked him later in Arizona and good for him but I hated that turd when he was here. As for the best, in order: Pop, Albeck, Moe, Bass.

Rofl hardly. Ur only the newest member of the popsucker gang

I put Tark worse than Cotton, but it's close.
I totally agree with your best choices.

I was going to start a poll of who the worst Spurs Athletics Trainer of all time was. But I don't think people would get too terribly excited over the debate.

[Budkin]

I wasn't a Spurs fan when Fitzsimmons was coach so I'll go with Tark

In an entirely unrelated note, I'm curious what you guys think on something.

Great Spur?

Greatest Spur?

The answer is John Anderson, and it's not even close. John Anderson was so creepy and perverted, that he used to freak the players out. He would do things like rub the players' feet on his crotch while he was taping their ankles.

[Ocotillo]

Mo McHone

[silverblk mystix]

Cotton Fitzimmons.

He came in and benched George Gervin then traded him to the Bulls- this is as bad as benching Tim Duncan in game 6 of the NBA finals.

Worse, by far!

[silverblk mystix]

That's why I said Cotton...

[xmas1997]

That's why I said Cotton...

Yeah, that's why in my opening post I said him, but I have to admit that Tark my have been worse, yet only by a hair, which of course he didn't have any of unless you count his ears and nose!:wow

[spurraider21]

It's clearly pop guys he's the only one that definitively cost us 6 titles including 6. His love for bonner and small ball has tarnished the Duncan era and is ruining the end of his career

Moe was the best. You give Moe Duncan and the Spurs win back to back.

[tesseractive]

The whole Tark-Lucas-Hill period was one big shit sandwich, tbh. Tark was definitely the low water mark of the period, though.

Cotton Fitzsimmons is before my time as a Spurs fan, so I can't fairly vote for or against him.

[Twisted_Dawg]

1. Jerry Tarkington*
2. John Lucas
3. Mo Mchone
4. Bob Weiss
5. Larry Brown: for being a negative, whinning b!tch that ruined Willie Anderson, almost ruined Sean Elliottt, and set the Spurs back several years in the early Drob formative years by campaigning to get himself fired. A total little cuntt. He probably should be the #1 listed bad coach, but he did know his X's & O's. Horrible motivator.

*Quiz: Who called him that?

[Biggems]

I cant put Weiss on the list, he was dealt a very poor hand, plus, he was so bad, we got DRob.....so I have to give him some kudos for his suckage.

I blame Hill for the 95 WCF. While Rudy T had his team double and triple teaming Robinson on one end, he left Robinson on an island against the Dream on the other end. Yes, the Rockets had very good perimeter shooters, but still, he let the Dream simply go off. BTW, it is true that David couldn't stop Hakeem, but it is also true that Hakeem had no answer for David. One on one, they were simply a wash and the two best Centers in the game at that time. That series came down to coaching and Hill cowered in the corner in a puddle of his own piss. Of course it didn't help that Rodman was off on his own agenda by that time.

Tark was absolutely horrible.

I agree with Twisted Dawg on his assessment of Larry Brown, he got into Elliott's head and made him tentative. All his life, Sean was a scoring machine, but he comes to the play for Brown and gets mindfucked into becoming a hesitent, self-questioning player. Elliott was a scoring version of Pippen before Larry Brown.......BTW, the way I feel about Larry Brown is the same way I feel about Bill Parcells.

[TXstbobcat]

I will go with John Lucas.

I guess record-wise, it would be Mo McHone. (.355)

[Marcus Bryant]

Rex Hughes GOAT 1.000

[Marcus Bryant]

I'd day Tarkanian, but the team he thought he would be coaching and the one he was handed were quite different.

For underachieving, Bob Hill is at the top. He and his concubine Kevin O'Keefe were quite a pair.

[Solid D]

If you count the Chaparrals, Babe McCarthy was 24-48 (.333) and his replacement Dave Brown at 4-8 (.333) take the cake.

[Poolboy5623]

Some of my earlier memories were of Lucas emphatically running and jumping, on the sidelines...usually reacting to the admirals play. He use to let the players talk out the timeouts and he would stand off to the side, catching his breath, most likely. Not great coach but entertaining.

It's tough to lose a 5-point lead in less than a minute with Tim Duncan on the floor. Just sayin.

[alamo50]

Bob Hill, no doubt.

DIdn't Bud coach the spurs to a 4-0 record? Can't remember

[wildbill2u]

Fitzsimmons took the heat for the FO by getting rid of Gervin--and I hated him for it at the time--but he wasn't a bad coach. He knew the game, but didn't have the players. He just came in at a low point in the life of the Spurs.
