Scott Skiles and Mike D'Antoni.
After actually watching Suns games I would have to say Mike D. Man he complains more than anyone i have ever seen. Even when a play goes his way he is whining about it.
without a doubt D'Antoni. If you look at him during games.. the guy seriously needs some kind of medication..
I also hate his Mustache!!! Is he TRYING to look like a porn star from the 70's?
So my boss and I were having a discussion about the playoffs so far and I was talking about Mike D. being a big complainer and he had the nerve to say POP was the biggest whiner as far as coaches go. Guess he doesn't know better since he is a Mavs fan hahaha.
Bob Hill's hair
hahahaha
Phil ing Jackson
that guys is a .
coming in a distant second would be D'antoni.
Oh...and what is with the Nets coach (sorry dont know his name). He looks like he is about 19 or something...how can anyone on that team take him seriously. My wife and i were laughing the other night because it looks like one of those guys that you'd find ducktaped to the wall, or stuffed in a trash can. he'd be all, "cmon guys i just wanna talk about Defense!"
I forgot to mention Isiah.....I loved him as a player but DAMN he sucks as a coach. What does Jermaine O'neil see in him? I think they have something going on in the locker room.
hahahah Yeah Phil is a . Without MJ, or Kobe and Shaq he would be NOTHING!!!
Phil Jackson and D'Antoni are 1st and 2nd BY A MILE.
Phil Jackson first and foremost. D'Antoni, G Karl, and Isiah Thomas fighting for no 2 spot in quite a distant place from the 1st.
Phil Jackson amuses me. Gekko's narcissism gives me a chubby.
Got to be D'Antoni.
Phil is a genius but I can't stand his arrogance. I'm not sure how much of it "gamesmanship" but most of the words that come out of his mouth make we want to vomit.
Phil Jackson is an obvious #1 to me.
George Karl is #2...literally. He wasn't too bad this opening series in comparison to past years though.
Phill called '99 a fluke so him! I like Scott because he's so blunt, much like Pop.
Any member of the OSCL (Old School Coach's List):
Guys who refuse to call timeouts, rotate their players, or go to the hot hand.
Jerry Slone
Larry Brown
Lenny Wilkins
Mike Dunleavy
Pat Relily
Don Nelson
Flip Saunders
George Karl
Rick Adleman
*Scot Skiles (newest inductee)
D'antoni is looking like he will be a new member next season.
Doc Rivers doesn't count because he has to be a coach first to be on the list.
These guys were/would have been great coach's back in the day, but useless (if a NBA Championship is your goal) since about 1990 or so.
In contrast, the coach's I love to watch are ones who display the ability to utilize one or more of the tools I mentioned above.
NSCL (New School Coach's List)
Phil Jackson <Perhaps the first member, maybe Chuck Daly
Rick Carlisle
Larry Bird
Jim O'Brien
Jeff Van Gundy
Avery Johnson
Pop is an interesting case. One day he will dazzle me with his ability to think like a member of the 21st century. The next day, he will pull a Larry Brown out of his ass. Can't argue much with the results, perhaps his better nature prevails more often than not.
Pat Reily is also an interesting case. For years, he languised in his inability to recognize the hot hand, nor make any coaching adjustments outside of illegal defenses, let alone call a time out. However, props where props are due, he was least OSCLish of the coaches he faced (sans Avery perhaps, I blame his collapse on inexperience more than anything else), and Pat actually innovated a little, with his use of Hack-A-Shaq against someone to protect a lead instead of trying to make one up. And, my god, I almost had a heart attack when I discovered he had called a timeout during the ECF to make an adjustment against the Pistons. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Calm down there, son.
Anyone remember Frank Johnson? That guy was excessively loud.
But one coach I really like is Doc Rivers. He's done a good job tutoring all of the young talent they have in Boston. I wouldn't be surprised if they got scary good in the next few years.
Avery, he's loud and sounds like a 12 year old girl. (plus he's a mav)
Dude. I was joking.
Mike Brown. His post game press conferences are brutal to listen to.
Phil Jackson!
the cavs coach
my favss....
Sloan and avery.
