    He just won an NBA championship his 2nd year as a head coach. Or is he another Doc Rivers type?

    No it doesn't. It makes him look like the coach of a Lebron James team.

    Honestly that Cavs team looked like it was in disarray. Not a well oiled machine. Thankfully for Cavs fans they had LeBronster (the most dominant player in the game) and the best PG in the series. This championship is not on the coach.

    Also, it's not 2 seasons. it's not even ONE season... it's half a freaking season.

    Or, to say it the Lebron James way: "Not 7, not 6, not 5, not 4, not 3, not 2, not 1, but HALF a season."

    Tyrion did good coaching the Cavs but it's on Game of Thrones where he is great.

    This is like when Rockets coach Bill Fitch made Olajuwon into a superstar, then was replaced by coach Don Chaney, who imposed his bad system onto the team. Chaney was replaced by Rudy Tomjanovich, who dropped any system and just handed the reigns to Olajuwon, who played the Fitch system. They won 2 championships before Barkley was added and dragged them down with selfishness. Then the mindless Lakers hired Tomjanovich as head coach and he lasted half a season.

    Lue will look great as long as he follows LeBron the way that Tomjanovich trailed Hakeem's coattails.

    I don't know enough about Lue to judge, but from what I've seen his style is....give the ball to Lebron...then give the ball to Lebron..easiest coaching gig on the planet..also post game Lebron is all about himself....My guys follow me, I know everything, they just need to listen to me...as great as he is, he's his own fan club..he didn't praise Lue until he was prompted by a reporter to talk about him...then he said they were equals....like co-coaches

    Is 2-time champion Erik Spoelstra considered a great coach yet?

    How long did Pat Riley have to be coach before he was considered "great".
