Is there a such thing as a good coach with a terrible team?

[Yung Yogurt]

If so name some...

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Mike Woodson

 

[I.V.]

Rick Adelman.

Jeff Van Gundy in '01.

 

[Taadow]

All the dudes I was gonna say don't have teams anymore!

Woodson
Adelman
VanGundy (pick one)

I think Bret Brown and Brad Stevens have potential. Sixers were playing well until the front office made Brown tank...and Stevens had the Celtics scrappy, they just need a lot more talent.

Adelman is the first that comes to mind. Not this season though, he and the team underachieved. Brett Brown seems like he's going to be a cellar dweller coach for a couple of more seasons.

Thibodeau

But in the NBA the coach is there to manage egos and really nothing more. Unless it's Pop, who actually runs offensive sets.
