would kobe be a good head coach?

[T-K-G]

Kobe would be a terrific coach

His attention to detail and work ethic are second to none

Fam lets be honest

Bean would be out there choke slamming these knucklehead rookies/underachievers

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Nah hed be a bad coach
He said himself i doesnt believe he could be a good coach

Same way jordan would suck as a coach

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

No, none of the great players make good coaches because they don't understand the word "cant". It's why the best coaches are almost always some 3rd stringer from a D3 school, or former NBA rotational player.

Yeah this is kinda true, the only example I can think of is Larry Bird who had some success coaching.

 

[David_TheMan]

Can't see Kobe being a good coach.
He was allergic to anything but ISO ball as a player.
He ran talent away to sooth his ego.
He doesn't understand how to communicate to players.
He is an arrogant and aloof much like Kareem, and I dont see him ever getting a NBA HC job.
I think he would flame out in college as well after a sex scandal.
I don't think he would be a good GM either nor a talent scout.
Might make him a team exec like president of operations or something, but someone not in the day to day basketball decision making process like a gm.

Bill Russell had the most success when he was coaching himself.

What about his people/communication skills?

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I feel like Kobe would mentally break down so many players

Larry Bird
Isiah Thomas was a good coach when he didn't control personnel decisions
Lenny Wilkens was a top 50 player

 

[Kit Kat]

Holy shyt that would be crazy. I'm down.

 

[Jordan>>LeFrozen]

It would be funny if lebron tried to get homo coach the cavs

Phil Jackson - 6.7ppg

Gregg Popovich - Didn't make it to the league, played for Air Force.

Pat Riley - 7.4ppg

Rick Carlisle - 2.2ppg

Larry Brown - 11.2ppg


Doc Rivers - 10.9ppg


The Van Gundy's - Played college ball


I mean, the list of good to great coaches that were just rotational players, or dudes who didn't make it to the league is staggering by comparison

 

[THE K-MAN]

If he has the patience maybe

 

[Remote]

No.
How many examples of star athletes being shytty/mediocre coaches do you need?

 

[waltthizzney]

kobe hates scrubs

 

[NatiboyB]

No great players are typically horrible coaches and talent evaluators.

Bench warmers tend to be good.
