ESPN's top available coaches.

[ziggy]

Last week on ESPN's insider, they published their list of the top available coaches. Which of these guys would you like to see in Bobcats Orange?

I'd like to see #3 Marc Iavaroni. He was a big part of implementing Phoenix' run and gun style which would be great here.

1. Larry Brown
2. Rick Adelman
3. Marc Iavaroni
4. Mike Fratello
5. Lenny Wilkens
6. Del Harris
7. P.J. Carlesimo
8. Randy Wittman
9. Jay Wright
10. Tom Thibodeau
11. Bill Laimbeer
12. Jeff Bzdelik
13. Erik Spoelstra
14. Johnny Davis
15. Jim O'Brien
16. Patrick Ewing
17. Herb Williams
18. Scott Brooks
19. Paul Westhead
20. John Lucas

Thats quite a group of coaches . I had no idea that thair was that many coaches available. Hell ill take any of those guys over Bernie.
I GUESS THE ONES I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE MOST WOULD BE 3,5.AND 20, allso wheres Paul Salis

[123together]

12. Jeff Bzdelik

i think he would be good for us because he helped build the nuggets from nothing to a periennial playoff team. He can handle coaching young talent.

I would also like to see rick adelman ( although not against shaq ) hahhahahahaha

I thought I'd include some biographical/coaching stats with my post of coaches I'm interested in. Here goes..:

Rick Adelman: http://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/adelmri01c.html

Marc Iavaroni: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Iavaroni

Del Harris: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Harris (based on his international and Mavericks tutelage.


I would also look into Paul Silas!

Oh yeah...Rick Laimbeer....Could anyone see Crash choke a bitch like latrell did?

Larry Brown

Larry Brown
That depends... Do we get the sane Detroit Pistons Larry Brown, or the completely goofy New York Knicks Larry Brown.

[DaFlameking]

no. Larry brown is in coach all for the money. And you know damn well that our owner wont pay big bucks. Look what he did to the knicks when he didnt get his money.

The best 2 are
2. Rick Adelman
3. Marc Iavaroni

Rick has experience and ALSO has coached Gerald Wallace back in the days. (Before i was a bobcats fan, i was a Kings fan) and could make Wallace into a superstar reuniting the two.

Marc Iavaroni has gotten alot of information on how to build a winning team after being 2nd lead on the Suns. I can rely on him

Either 2 of these coaches need to come on the bobcats. They're the best on the list. all we have to do now is pray =/

Billy Donnovan

Billy Donnovan


He's been successful everywhere he's gone to in the college ranks, but i'd be leery of a college coach. I like his track record, but i'd have to know more about him to make that judgement about him bein the next coach.

Do you think he would leave Florida and join us?

Here's a dark horse because of connections to Jordan and Bernie:

Doug Collins

If anyone noticed during our one national TV broadcast, Collins made a lot of comments starting with "If I were coaching the Bobcats...."

Remember, you heard it here first.

That one makes a lot of sense. He coached Jordan with the Bulls and Jordan brought him in to coach during his stint with the Wizards. IMO Collins is a solid coach.
