Miller
Hornacek
Rambis
Fisher
Thomas
Brown
This one’s easy
Fizdale
The top and bottom are definitely the easiest here.
Mike Miller was a pretty good coach. Fizdale and his positionless basketball philosophy was poorly executed and the team just looked out of place. They weren’t talented but Miller took the same roster and went 17-27. Fizdale had Jules bringing the ball up the court and he didn’t look comfortable and kept spinning into TOs. Miller simply took the ball out of Jules hands and made him post up, essentially playing to his strength. I actually wanted Miller to stay on as a coach before they went with Thibs.
I’ll trade like 8 of these guys for JVG
1. Thibs
2. Mike Woodson
3. Mike D’Antoni
4. Mike Miller
5. Jeff Hornacek
6. Larry Brown
7. Kurt Rambis
8. Isiah Thomas
9. Derek Fisher
10. David Fizdale
It just feels wrong that Isaiah isn’t the lowest. I know it’s just about the coach, but think of the rosters he gave some of these other coaches when he ran the front office.
“Googles on Kurt Rambis!”-Killa Cam
I still chant “fire Isiah” every time I see him on TB. Put him below fizdale everyone, come on, what are we even doing here?
