Best Coach Leading A Team Lacking Star Power
phil got kobe and pau
van gundy got superman and nelson
mike brown got lebron and mo
doc got paul and garnett
but my question to all basketball fans on this forum is who is the best coach leading a bad team.. and in my opinion it has to be mike woodson.. he has a team with no superstar solid guards only one real player who creates his shot jj .. one developing post presence in harford.. a few other key pieces josh smith.. marvin williams.. mike bibby but at the end of the day after they lost josh childress who was there 6th man i thought it was it for them there chances of playoffs were done but there record is 27-20 and for the most parts they have been fairly competitive ... the only other major one is greg pop.. spurs still stay competitive despite age..
thoughts anyone... ?

Mike Woodson is now considered a good coach?
I thought many Hawks fans hated him.

yeah, pop doesn't belong there with duncan/parker/manu
i'm going to go with mike d'antoni. they're battling for a playoff spot and they don't really have anything. david lee playing out of position, duhon a cast off from an inferior chicago team, wilson chandler...who?, 5'1" nate robinson, q "didn't he retire" rich....

To be honest, the most underappreciated coach in the NBA has to Mike Brown ... just for managing Lebron for all these years, I mean he even has the guy convinced to play defense and when nobody gives you credit and you have the best player in the league and your team playing the best ball ever ... that says something ...

Not really. What is says is you have the second best player in the league with Mo and Z and are winning games that you are suppose to win. O and you got to one NBA finals and got the broom

Rick Carlise I think makes the most of the talent. He kept the Pacers competitive even after the Detroit brawl, and the mass suspensions.

You know who the best coach leading a team with no stars is, why even ask the question

Re: Best Coach Leading A Team Lacking Star Power
there is no other coach in the league that would take the Knicks roster and have them even 10 games near .500. No one. He isn't the best coach in the league, but he certainly is the best at taking less talent and making them competitive. Now that he is gone in Phx people are seeing the real amare, and realizing that Steve Nash is the same exact player he was on Dallas. A pg with a good shot, but that is turnover prone when he has to actually run a proper half-court offense.

LeBron James is one of the most coachable superstars ever.

Jerry Sloan.
He has injuries coming out of his ears and the Jazz are still a hard beat.

Larry Brown
Just like D'Antoni he needs a specific type of player. I just think that Brown's type of players are typically NOT stars. And as he's a good coach without question, he was the first to come to my mind.
