That list is lulworthy. Del Negro was pretty poor in Chicago IMO and had a bad first year with the Clips before CP3 came over. Spoelstra too has had a prime Lebron and then a very very good D wade and Bosh for most of his short coaching steer so obviously he would be made to look good.

My list:
1. Popovich
2. Thibodeau (a lot harder to spell than it is to read!)
3. Frank Vogel
4. Rivers
5. Brooks I guess

Chris Paul coaches the Clippers. Vinny Del Negro just manages the substitution patterns every now and then.

My top ten would be:

1. Popovich.

then in no particular order:

Vogel
Hollins
Carlisle
Woodson
Rivers
Brooks
Spo
Tibs
Adelman

Worst coaches: D'antoni and Vinny Del Negro

ha ha Del Negro went 41-41 2 years in a row when he was at Chicago from memory. He sucks, D'Antoni could coach that Clippers team to be honest.
No way would Carlisle be top 5 either in my opinion, he has made most teams worse by the time he leaves.

1 Popovich
2 Thibs
3 Rivers
4 Doug Collins
5 Frank Vogel
6 Mark Jackson

Maybe a bit biased with Thibs as Rivers has the ring, but Thibs amazes me with what he does defensively, and with an average bench. Also this year to be 3 wins out of 1st in the East WITHOUT Derrick Rose, is unbeleivable.

Also think Dunlap would be better with a slightly older team, but am impressed with what he has done so far with Charlotte.

My Top 10
Popovic
Carlisle
Thibs
Rivers
Hollins
Adelman
Brooks
Williams
Collins
Vogel


Not Top 10
Wittman
Del Negro
D'Antoni
Stotts
Casey
Drew
Scott
& its too early for:
Hunter
Vaughan
Corbin

Gee, no love for George Karl! Bloke has been consistantly good for years!

1. Popovich
2. Thibs
3. Adelman
4. Rivers
5. Karl
6. Carlisle
7. Brooks
8. Collins
9. Vogel
10.Hollins

1. Popovich
2. Thibodeau
3. Brooks
4. Rivers
5. M. Jackson

Consistently average!

im not sure if anonymous at the top knows anything about spoelstra. He's a veeeery good coach. He is the opposite of a bitch as in his first year he benched lebron numerous times for playing outside the structure.

1. Popovich
2. Thibs
3. Carlisle
4. Rivers
5. Karl
6. Adelman
7. Brooks
8. Vogel
9. Hollins
10. Frank

Here Here No Deal, surprised nobody mentioned Karl.

1. Gregg Popovich
2. Tom Thibodeau
3. Doc Rivers
4. George Karl
5. Scott Brooks

and I like what I've seen lately from

6. Mark Jackson
7. Frank Vogel
8. Lionel Hollins

In regards to Vinny Del Negro, I seem to recall last year that he was VERY, VERY close to getting the flick. I also read recently that Chris Paul told the organisation exactly who to go get in the off-season. It seems Vinny doesn't have a great deal of control/power over the team that a coach usually would. Negatively speaking, this could be because he's hopeless and can't coach. However, you could flip this on its head and say he's the perfect coach for the Clippers. He keeps Paul happy and doesn't have the ego of other coaches who would demand entire control over the team. Regardless of what the actual answer is, the Clips are getting done at the moment.

what has karl done?

Up North, Karl has over 1,000 coaching wins in the NBA. That has to count for something right?

brooks is a good development coach but in game he tends to suck....
that said, you can't argue with results

1000 wins is amazing but what has he got to show for it? 1 Conference championship

Karl has something like 20 straight years coaching over 50% w/L with different teams.

Heard on commentary the other day. Not sure where to find the records. Baseball guy had 26 years and maybe tied with another nba coach from the past. Wouldn't call him the best right now though.

What about our guy the ex 36ers HC?
