I disagree. Most overrated coach is Dantoni (sp) from the Suns
He took The Clippers to the playoffs that right there is Hall of Fame stuff in my book.
Larry Brown = Norman Dale
most overratted coach ever is Phil Jackson, throughout his career he has ridden the coattails of super-teams.
Couldn't you say he same thing about Pop?
typical homer.
This article is like most of CNN's biased reporting.. a steaming pile of .
Not sure he is #1 with Riley back = who lost year after year in the first round in his last decade but he is pretty darn close.
here, here.
it's harder to coach big-time talent, you catch way more if you don't come through. i would say jackson is doing a pretty good job this season as well.
You rarely hear Pop mentioned with the best. How can you be overrated when you're barely rated at all?
Well, it is weird when LB's won one championship, Pop 3, but all the talk is about LB. But that's the way it goes with the Spurs. Oh well.
LB is the best rebuilder there is. He took a Clippers team to the playoffs that hadn't made the trip in 10 years and didn't for another 10. He took a dreadful 20ish wins Philly team to the NBA Finals. He probably does more with less than any other coach in the game. I always said that if had a rebuilding project, I'd bring in Larry for 2-3 years, then fire him and bring in Phil.
Larry's two biggest faults are wanderlust and the fact that he never changes his spiel. Veteran players eventually tune him out. If Larry had been hired here in, say, 2001, he'd STILL be screaming at Tony Parker on every play. He never trusts his players.
Knicks are 7-20 (only Atlanta at 7-22 is worse) this year under Brown, they were 14-13 at the same time last year.
Brown's being paid roughly $125,000 per game this year, I think so-so coach could have done as well for far less, but money doesn't seem to be a problem with the Knicks organization.
The "experts" thought he might be worth an extra 7 wins this year which would give them an overall record of 40-42 if that panned out.
Too early to give him a grade at this time. (Glad I'm not a Knicks fan)
I wonder how long it'll be before he jumps ship from his "dream job".
Knicks will be fine once they git rid of Marbury
I would say, right now, Brown is a disappoitment, but I would not call him the most overrated coach. People just judge coaches and players with what they are doing right now, but look at what Brown did with the Clippers, the Spurs, the 6ers, and such, each and every one of them over achieved. The season is only 27 games old, it's way too early to say that he is the most overrated coach, I believe his 25+ years of coaching excellence more than overcome this 1/3 season of disappointment.
I don't think Brown's overrated and I do think he's a great coach but it will be interesting to see what Brown can eventually do with a cast of "have beens", "never weres", self described "best point guard in the league" and some rookies (Frye looks like the real deal).
Not sure if Brown still has the patience and mettle to stick around for more than a couple of years with a team of that make-up...although $10,000,000 a year should help with those issues.
the jury is out on phil jackson now that he has the lakers and not 2 superstars
Phil has Kobe, 4 turds, and 7 pieces of clumped-up cat litter running close to the division lead. Not too shabby.
I'm not sure if he's the most overrated, but he sure is an overrated piece of .
dunleavy now one of the best ever?
we're only 25 games or so in, everybody is close to the division lead.
BTW, Lamar odom and Caron Butler are very good players. Those two with a rookie Dwayne Wade created a lot of in the east.
Butler for Kwame in hindsight was a horrible trade.
Larry is rebuilding... and how do you know part of his plan is to get a draft pic?
Larry knew they would not be uber this year. He has a 3 year plan.
Loosing a lot of games would make them in a sweet position to get talent for next year.
