    Ya, as of now I think its probably between Adelman, Doug Collins, and Frank Vogal

    His mentality is not that of a volume scorer. He picks his shots very well.

    Wow, just because of 1 game versus the Clippers that they barely won. Mark my words, they will not be over .500.

    Yeah they will, they have the 6th best +/- in the west.

    Adelman deserves to run away with it if the Wolves make the playoffs. 17 wins to making the playoffs in the west is a huge accomplishment. The Pacers and Sixers were already playoffs teams.

    However, I really don’t see the Wolves making the playoffs this season. You can see the definite improvement in the team, but closing out games consistently comes with experience. They're going to be a team like the Rockets were last season -- better than their record indicates according to the stats. They'll be a force next season, though.

    George Karl deserves mention. He'll miss out again, but what he has done in Denver has been nothing short of amazing.

    An entire team can't have +/-, only players and combinations of players (up to 5) can have +/-. You must be thinking of something else, point differential maybe?

    My votes are George Karl, the Pacers coach and esp. the NO coach. Its amazing what he'd done with the sorry ass talent. If you ranked teams based on talent NO would be the most pathetic team in the L.

    Adelman is definitely the best coach. COY is nothing.

    Collins already improved his team by 14 wins last year. I don't see how he could do anything more impressive this year.
