If Dan joins this organization under a "long term contract", how long before he's fired?
From a money perspective, it seems like a windfall for Hurley, but from a career satisfaction perspective, it's hard to top what he's already accomplished.
How have college coaches fared in the NBA, not counting the Pomona Pitzer prodigy?
Duncan coat rider under achieved and ain’t done since Duncan left
Look at Lue: worrying about the GD Lakers 4 o'clock this morning. Grow up.
Dan Hurley?
Pomona Pitzer prodigy
He's had success in the NBA.
Duncan coat rider under achieved and ain’t done since Duncan left
It's called rebuilding. Spurs haven't done that since, maybe ever.
Sure sniffer
Coaches can’t win you a ring, they can only lose it.
I agree. I feel coaches in the NBA at best influence about around 5-10 percent of the game, which is subs utions, timeouts, instant replays, matchups, and working the refs.
2013 Game 6 Finals
Ginobili had 8 ing turnovers. He was obviously having some sort of Alzheimer's attack but Numb Nutts just sat there and left him in.
Next was the lead by 6 with 30 seconds to go.
Ya, there is not only influencing a game but a got dammed Championship and undefeated Timmy Dunks Finals record.
Which Spurs coach was better. I'll wait.
Has nothing to do with nothing
No other had Duncan and screwed it up
The warriors went from 1st round fodder to a dynasty because Kerr saw the strengths of the team and ran a style that was never done before.
The spurs went from a pick and roll team to a 4 down team to a motion offence team with the same core.
The bulls went from an iso offence to the triangle, winning 6 les.
The bad boys pistons went from a high scoring no d team to a rough and tumble style that dominated the 90s on their way to two les
The rockets went from an iso only offence to an inside out three point shooting team that changed basketball for the next 40 years.
The Celtics went from an undisciplined Jack shots from everywhere team with unorganized defence to one of the most feared defensive team ever.
But coaches make no difference. WTF?
How bout the Lakers, professor?
They pay.
Nobody said they make no difference, gook. They can absolutely torpedo a team’s chances (Doc, Pop in 2013, countless other examples). What they do to actually win you games is such a small percentage of winning. Any stiff can coach superstars and even bad ones can luck into a ring or two just from sheer personnel talent.
Warriors were puppies who had a surprising run in 2013 to the WCSF and then lost a Game 7 on the road in the first round next year. One first round loss on the road in a Game 7 doesn’t cons ute a first round fodder label, imo. They came into their own and it didn’t hurt that the rest of the Western powerhouses from 15-19 were led by choke artists (Harden’s rockets, Durant’s Thunder, Lob City, etc.). Credit to Kerr for some of it, but very small percentage. He did a good job not getting in the way like Mark Jackson did.
Your Spurs example is cancelled out by Pop costing you in 2013.
Celtics got old so Pistons won, Pistons got old so Bulls won. Jordan retired so Rockets won. It’s not ing rocket science
If you wanted to make a point what good coaches can do, point to 2004, 2006 and 2011. Those teams clearly benefited more than a small percentage from coaching
...like Biden states:::"Whatever it takes."
In the past 40 years only Mike has more rings.
You stupid
meh
every team that lost couldn't beat the winning team for some reason.
The ABC Disney Warriors record with Luke Walton and Potatoe Head when Kerr when out with a sore back and vag.
Is it bad voting machines? Corrupt officials?
