OK, lets have some fun, who should be HYBRID HALL-OF-FAMERS?



What is a HYBRID HALL-OF-FAMER?

A hybrid HoFer is someone who does not make the Hall as a player, coach, or contributor, but makes the Hall but a combination of these.

[Galileo]

I don't get it

Rudy T is not in the Hall-of-Fame, but should. He comes up just short as a player and as a coach. But his combined achievemnets should out him in.

Who else?

Get it?

I had no problem getting it.

Doc Rivers, Scott Skiles, and Kevin Johnson are the only ones from that list that I say a definate yes to. Maybe Terry Porter, and Byron Scott too.

Hubie Brown?

Hubie Brown is already in the HOF:

Byron Scott did nothing other than gravy train on 3-4 better players each time for some les, and constantly alienate players on two teams that he coached. His playing career was ordinary, his coaching career flawed and disjointed.
