Raptors: Black coaches..

[Latarian Milton]

Lakers are undefeated in the 1st round as a #1 seed. Can you say the same about your team? Get your hummingbird as in here and det for 8 secnds sphincterraider21.

there ain't many teams in NBA history that got defeated in the first round by the #8 seed imho.

[Grit and Grind]

Lionel Hollins is the best Black coach ... That's not saying much

[HarlemHeat37]

Hollins's offensive creativity is terrible, tbh..

Not even sure is Lionel is black I mean his Obama color a wigger ( white ) or nacker ( ****** cracker ) but this guy does have the Playoff wins and doesn't need KG , Pierce in Ray in their end of the primes to win

[Samuel Eto'o]

bumping for visibility to the sunday afternoon guest rush, tbh

[BRHornet45]

sons my black side is very annoyed with this. its like back when the Colts played the Bears in the Super Bowl and the media made such a big deal about it being the first time TWO black coaches were playing each other. you would think it was like some sort of science experiment with Zoo animals that finally worked by the way the media obsessed over it. like ... "oh look yall! we got us two black people who can read, write, and talk! they can even coach a football team too!".

very insulting to black people when they do this type of nonsense. just let the best man for the job do the job.

It's not insulting. It should be a wake up call, that it's not is insulting to the human race.

[Brazil]

I mean no offense to black people but leading, Inventing, being smart in general is just not in their genes.

you mean genres ? right ?

[Mal]

I believe NFL ended their black coach experiment, in brutal way this year.

who else?

Alvan gentry is the cream of the black coaching crop imo

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Pretty much...and people forget that in 2007 (the year before the Big 3 and Thibs came together), the great Doc Rivers led the Celtics to a 19-game losing streak.

Yeah prior to the kg trade and having a player who'd bark at any teammate who didn't listen to the coach, doc was on the hot seat like no other coach in 2007 and regularly drew criticism from bill Simmons about how bad of a coach he is. Even in 2008 before they won it all Simmons would constantly talk about how they win in spite of rivers not because of him.

Pretty much. I remember Warren Moon being insulted when asked how it felt to be the first black quarterback elected to the Hall of Fame. He said he didn't want to be thought of as a black quarterback, because it made it seem like he was in a different class than the others.

To be fair, that doesn't make someone a bad coach. All the way up to the Super Bowl, people were talking about how John Harbaugh was being taken to the championship by his veterans. Sure, he had the whole prevented-mutiny thing going for him, but each game of the playoffs, people were giving the Ravens' opponents the coaching advantage.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't remember anybody criticizing Harbaugh to that extent, tbh..that sounds like a forced storyline..

I had the same reaction to that fictional story. I don't remember anyone saying they were winning in spite of harbaugh or that kubiak had a coaching advantage.

I cannot look at him without thinking he's barely keeping his eyes open. I keep thinking "Stymie".

[Thread]

He wasn't the Phoenix Suns breed. He was different. His actions toward Kobe in that series where Artest put it back were true class of superlative degree.

This Albert they got as an announcer is likewise against the grain. He won't be invited back.

[DeadlyDynasty]

[lefty]

So yesterday vs the Cavs, Raptors were up 3 in the closing moments and they fouled to send the Cavs to send them to the FT line instead of giving up a 3, and won the game

But they didnt do that vs the Lakers and let Kobe tie the game with a 3

lol I remember this. And then when Boston got all those stars and firepower and won games, Doc suddenly became a great in coach . wtf? of course, it was nigh impossible to tell anyone that without being labeled as a "hater" and "just jealous". And now Doc is being considered to coach the olympics

That's a link to a search covering what I was talking about. There has been a general stigma (especially among Ravens media) that Harbaugh had a talented team that took him to the playoffs as much as he took them. There was even talk as recently as last year about how much better of a coach Jason Garret was. If I find more-concrete articles, I'll link them. But this was not a forced storyline.

[HarlemHeat37]

All I see there are links that discuss Harbaugh outcoaching opposing coaches..do I have to click them to read the arguments that Harbaugh is a ty coach that was carried by his team?..

[Chinook]

No. You should just scroll down. If you did read the top links, everyone is surprised as that Harbaugh managed to outcoach their team, like a man that had been to four consecutive playoffs (at the time) was not supposed to be able to outsmart their team.

Brooks may not be black but his system does seem pretty non-existent when Durant and Westbrook aren't on the court, OKC's system pretty much consists of those two making plays out of nothing. When they both sat for a while at the start of the 4th the lack of a true system got exposed and that's where the game got out of reach. No wonder he rides them so hard.

Many non-Black coaches are ty, too, obviously..it's a similar argument to White QB vs. Black QB(I know that's an argument that is close to your heart)..
