Ok, you are arighjt, let me correct it and just say that you need good overall coaching to get to the finals. Of course Spoelstra is a good coach to me, he created a rare elite defensive scheme having no rim protectors in his team. He converted Bosh into a very useful defender; he had some succesful adjustments at several difficult playoffs series... I still need to see some of that from McHale... Scott Brooks had a unique? NBA team that contained three MVP caliber players + another potential all-star like Ibaka, still could not win it all. Be careful with RS records, Sam Mitchell has a coach of the year award.
What happens with Stevens? Absolutely proving to be a brilliant coach. I dont know what people expect from that roster. And without Rondo, without Green, the guy keeps his team fighting for a playoff spot.
It seems every random coach with some decent talent taking a team without names to mediocre record is celebrated like they're the next big thing. While McHale, who almost made the playoffs starting a rookie 2nd rounder, a perennial backup G, Space Cadet Dalembert at center as a rookie coach is constantly dismissed. While I don't think McHale is an elite coach or anything, but if you’re setting the bar at Jason Kidd or Brad Stevens he certainly makes it over them.
I very much doubt Kidd or McHale could do what Stevens did at college. Celtics roster could be the less talented team in the whole NBA after current Knicks and there with Sixers. C'mon look at that team, and plagued of young players. And they're competing for playoff, in fact they are currentlu 8th in the East. He's able to use and manage 10-11-12 man rotations. Not a lot of coaches can do that. Don't ask me how, but his team plays really good basketball at times. He's good adjusting during the games, he's very good with the blackboard, their players compete... I see him a bright future.
Looks like April fools came a few days early McHale is 24th at best but more like 28 or 29 Absolutely one of the worst coaches to ever grace the NBA Rockets record is inspite of McHale not because of him
The Celtics suck, just like every team in the east with the exception of about 3 or 4 teams. Put the Celtics in the West and they would be worse than the Jazz or the Kings. Brad Stevens has proved nothing.
Yup, I agree...that list is garbage. McFail is a bottom third coach in this league if we're being generous. In reality, he is one of the worst.
Carlisle? Mchale has done way better based on talent. 1. Pop (out of respect) 2. Kerr 3. Buden 4. Kidd 5. McHale 15. Carlisle
