I think the league is full of mediocre coaches, but Hollins should get his due for having his team ready to compete, a team that used to routinely mail it in last season.

Eh, the loss had more to do with the Spurs just not showing up instead of anything unique that the Nets did. Bonner missing six open threes, Leonard missing layups, Duncan going 5-18, Diaw looking like Austin Daye, Enrique playing passive(rib injury?). It's not often you'll see that many Spurs playing awful at the same time. If even one of those guys plays well, we win tonight.

That's not to say Joerger isn't a fine coach himself, but Hollins at least didn't get in the way of Memphis being a great team while he was there.

He strikes me as a coach that can make any roster a .500 club because players respect him and he gets good team D out of whoever is on the court. Memphis was a really good team when they got ZBo and Gasol went prime, plus Hollins was an undoubtedly good mentor for Mike Conley.
But with two clone teams playing each other, I think there are about 15-20 coaches in the league that could coach circles around him.

Yeah, as I said earlier, I don't think he's in the "great" echelon, but looking at the field of NBA coaches, just having your team ready for games seems like above average, tbh... and he at least does that.

Lionel Hollins is Byron Scott, tbh..
Scott was once known as a great defensive coach due to his Nets teams that made it to the Finals:lol..
As we saw later on with the Nets, and subsequently with the Cavs and Lakers, he's a terrible defensive coach and one of the worst coaches in recent NBA history..

I don't think Steve Kerr can be gauged yet, so putting him in the top 10 would be speculation based on team record at the moment. He hasn't done anything. Same is true for any 1st year head coach who doesn't have a head coaching resume. Remember how well Avery Johnson did in his 1st year? Where is he now?
I think Kerr will be a decent coach, but he's not spent a lot of time moving up the coaching ladder. I think guys who move from player to head coach (I know he was a GM) miss out on a lot of training that probably needs to happen.

There are no moral victories, IMO. Their record *is* what they have to show for their work. You could talk me into some coach doing above average by posting a .500 record with an abysmal/cancerous roster, but otherwise, the proof is really in the pudding.

Agree to disagree. When assessing a coaches ability, there's many variables that are more relevant than an unjust W/L record especially after 1 season.
I.E: offensive philosophy, defensive philosophy, game management (time management, player management, players minute distribution, lineup distribution), awareness and the implementation of adjustments needed in the middle of play and at start of 2nd half (how quickly coaches are able to exploit mismatches or avoid the exploitation of mismatches by the opposition, recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of each player and putting the players in best position to succeed, out of bounds plays, ect.

What has he done with the Nets? They have an average defense this season, and their defensive metrics are virtually the same as the 2nd half of last year after they turned it around with Kidd(once they established a little chemistry, obviously)..so ya, he hasn't done anything with the Nets, they are 20th in SRS and are under .500, they're worse than they were last year with Kidd..

Hollins will always fail in the long run because he doesn't believe in analytics or advanced stats. He insisted on closing games with Gay in Memphis instead of Allen, when the numbers clearly showed otherwise. That's why he got run.
You can't find an MLB manager now that doesn't at least pay lip service to Moneyball. It took 10-12 years, but the dinosaurs are gone. The NBA will be the same, and guys like Hollins will be reduced to TV gigs and talking about the good old days.

I never bought into the story that Hollins doesn't believe in analytics... Analytics themselves should be just another tool in an ample toolset that includes many other things, including coaching, mentoring, psychology, etc... even Pop doesn't play moneyball all the time...
I mean, what does Hollinger or Morey have to show for all the alleged superior number crunching? You don't need analytics to know Memphis has needed outside shooting for 3+ seasons now. Houston needs to put down the calculator and look at who's coaching.

Look at the roster. It is not hard to fathom. He has DWill and the corpse of Johnson and Garnett and a roster that goes maybe 7 deep.
Having that bottom roster at around .500 considering half their games have come against the West is overachieving in my book.
You are pulling up arbitrary stats that you have not shown to correlate to scoring points much less win then applying a value judgment to offense based on that ranking. Your statistical analysis is without basis and as I said before, you don't know how to evaluate.

But he didn't say he doesn't believe in analytics. He said the media nowadays builds all sorts of house of cards with analytics to prop up or knock down any given player, and he's right about that. By the numbers, Bonner should never see the floor over Splitter or Diaw, but sometimes matchups dictate he's the right guy for the job (like starting against OKC last playoffs). Now, Pop won't get bitched at because he's Pop.
The coach has to be on board or it doesn't matter what the front office does.
Well, I think that's why they parted ways primarily... but not necessarily because "he doesn't believe in analytics". I think he wanted to keep building Memphis one way and management thought the road was different. That happens.

Hollins made the Grizzlies a great team and made them play the right way despite adopting a style that wasn't followed elsewhere in the league (using two big men with a 7'2'' big man at the elbow and the other at the post).. He got them to be a top 3 defensive team for the better part of his coaching tenure. He got them to go to the WCF where they lost to the Spurs who were bent on revenge after the humiliation in 2011.
He was unceremoniously sacked by the Grizzlies establishment last year. The current team is more or less as good as the Hollins coached team except it has better perimeter players (Conley by improvement, Lee & Allen > Prince & Allen, old age Carter and so on).
For the Nets, which are a very flawed, overpaid squad, Hollins has not replicated the Grizzlies approach. Instead he has tried to make them play as a guard-forward oriented team, basically to their strengths and focused more on defense. He has empowered Teletovic and Bogdanovic to become starters and has lessened the need to depend upon Lopez/ Williams. They also iso less than last year when Iso-Joe dominated a lot of play.
The improvement has been in their defensive end, where they are far better than last year..and ranked around 13th in the league as compared to 18th last season.
When the Nets lose their dross and finetune their squad better, Hollins will really get them even better. As of now, he is make doing with a poorly constructed roster.
Bottomline.. He is a damn fine coach. More of a traditionaist but he is no Byron Scott or Brian Shaw.

This is dumb. His Nets team just defended us better than anyone else to this point of the season; he has done that with the Nets and Grizz. That is at two different locales so even if your rationale was logical -it isn't- then you don't even meet your own standard.
Try harder. Maybe do some blind tech worship again or the like.
Did you not see all the wide open shots we missed? And even a few close looks right at the basket. Classic night of cold shooting. The funny thing is even in the loss you could see we're light years ahead of Brooklyn.

Did you not see his guy prepared for our moves without the ball particularly off pnr and penetration? Did you not see them keep up with motion out of horns swinging the ball back and forth across the court 3 and 4 times where most teams give up wide open looks?
Yeah our shooting was shit but so was their outside of Televic or whatever his name is.

Well if we're going to eliminate all the inexperienced, new coaches, then that doesn't leave too many to judge:lol..
Good: Thibs, Carlisle, Van Gundy, Spoelstra, Pop, Joerger
Average: Vogel, McHale, Tom Rivers, Casey, Wittman, Hollins, Stotts
Poor: Shaw, Scott, Saunders, Monty Williams, Brooks
The Van Gundy you have listed as "Good" better be Jeff... :lol
That fat slob in Detroit is an absolute mess and somehow managed to ruin Drummond's potential

Did you not see them adjust the rims to be tighter than a bowstring?

Nets have lost back-to-back games by a combined 74 points :lmao:lmao:lmao
Might be time to hire a real coach soon, tbh, Hollins is lucky Byron Scott is in the NBA..
