    Cavs Fired Mike Brown, now he is winning in LA. I don't think he is a good coach, just a product of good players (LeBron & Kobe).

    Well, he was not re-hired by Buffalo. But technically you are correct. And love that avatar!

    The key is to either be a winner who moves and helps get two of the 10 best players ever a title (Jackson to LA), an assistant who is promoted to coach one of the best players ever (Riley in LA, Jackson in CHI), or a GM who takes over as coach in season you don't have David Robinson, and you know you're going to tank to try and get the #1 pick, which you know will be Tim Duncan (Popovich).

    Kind of deflating when you look at it, isn't it? This is how dynasties have been built.

    George Karl. I think he coached very briefly with Golden State before getting fired, going to Real Madrid, doing well, and getting hired by the Sonics where he was coach of the year (I'm pretty sure) and has gone on to good things in Milwaukee and Denver.

    But that was after winning CotY with Orlando for almost making the playoffs with a team of complete nobodies.

    It's hard to think of a coach who HASN'T been fired, other than: Phil Jackson.

    Here's a different question: how many coaches have coached two different teams in one season? I can only think of Larry Brown (fittingly).

    So would I. It would be especially sweet if the Clips took out the Lakers in the playoffs.

    Nate will get on with a far better franchise than that piece of chit.

    Why would he do that? He's going to get a chance to go to a contender with at least one legitimate All-NBA player. The Clippers actually make sense to me.

    What contender has job openings? I don't see Nate in LA. We will see. The coaching carousel should be interesting this summer.
