Always been a fan...Always said Larry Brown has his ring

That was an absolute travesty. It was sickening how much credit everybody tried to give Larry Brown when that Pistons team was headed for the same fate until they traded for Rasheed.

Give Carlisle Rasheed and he wins a title too.

Doc Rivers

No way in hell can you front on Doug Collins's basketball knowledge. I forgot who said it but they were 100% right - if you could call a timeout before every possession in the NBA, a Doug Collins team would never lose.

best coach in the nba not named pop

One of the best in the biz. Was great for Indy before his stint in Dallas too.

One of the best coaches in the game. That series against the Lakers where he outcoached Phil in his last year was pure genius.

If Carlisle is coaching the team I don't expect them to lose based on a bad gameplan or not being ready to play.

Is it because he looks like Jim Carrey. :skip:

No, I've been a fan of his coaching since his Piston's stint.
