Who is the worst coach in NBA history?

[kobedaman24]

The one coach I though was horrible and didnt deserve to coach was Sam Mitchell, and maybe Doc Rivers.

[Da KO King]

Off the top of my head:
Eddie Jordan
Byron Scott
Doc Rivers

*Note - I'm still up in the air about Flip Saunders

[Psileas]

ML Carr gets my vote. Useless both as a player and a coach.

[telephone]

the one guy that coached memphis for like 16 games then hubie brown took over. His name was sidney something.

[DaHeezy]

Personally I think Del Harris is a terrible coach. He had Shaq and Kobe and couldn't go anywhere with them, he sucked as the head at Vancouver, and he backs up Avery Johnson.

[Da KO King]

He had Shaq and Kobe and couldn't go anywhere with them, he sucked as the head at Vancouver, and he backs up Avery Johnson.Shaq and Kobe both tuned him out. Can't do much if the players don't want to listen to you and go to management bringing up the name Phil Jackson.

[funkylikemonkey]

Don Cheney comes to mind.

[ILLEFEX]

tim floyd gets my vote........he suck as hell........

[SRZ66]

isiah thomas

[Da KO King]

:roll: :hammerhead: :applause: :applause:
tim floyd gets my vote........he suck as hell........
We have a winner.

[Joey Zaza]

Floyd sucked

A guy whose name must be mentioned is Bill Fitch. He is number 2 all-time in career losses, but he also has thebiggest set of balls in coaching history. He goes to every bad tea, makes it somehwat good, then gets fired.

[ShawnieMac06]

Quinn Buckner...he of the 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks, they went 13-69 that year.

What about John Lucas, who had a good season and a half in San Antonio, then went to Philly and Cleveland and stunk it up. Good mentor to help get guys off drugs and alcohol, but a pretty lousy coach.

[browntown]

The one coach I though was horrible and didnt deserve to coach was Sam Mitchell.

Couldn't agree with you any more. He is such a bad coach hopefully BC well fire him. Another coach that come up is Kevin O'neal and I'm a raps fan just sick and tired of that bad coachs we've had exepct for Lenny Wincan't

[MaxFly]

Doc Rivers gets bashed non-stop...

[BBallBeatwriter]

Worst coach in history: not Sidney Lowe or Don Chaney, but Quinn Buckner, who was forced into caoching by the Dallas Mavs. Like Herb WIlliams, he was called upon to replace the head coach, but wasn't even ready or prepared to do so.

[Loki]

Quinn Buckner...

Winner.

[jailer]

lenny wilkens and sidney lowe.

[Silent Mav]

Herb at least had some experience as an assistant coach. Buckner had none what soever.

[mavsfan4zindagi]

Easily Quinn Buckner.

[kwajo]

Couldn't agree with you any more. He is such a bad coach hopefully BC well fire him. Another coach that come up is Kevin O'neal and I'm a raps fan just sick and tired of that bad coachs we've had exepct for Lenny Wincan't
Lenny sucked in TO too, the only good coach the Raps ever had was Butch F-ing Carter

[bomber]

Doc is pretty bad but i dont think hes that bad

besides having crummy players, is there anything that these guys have in common?

[brokenthumb]

Quinn Buckner hands down....those were miserable times!

[Maestro33]

As much as the numbers are aginst me I have to say that Floyd was not given a fair shake. Krause littered the roster with such debris and so much changeover that noone would have succeeded with that bunch of throwaways. Cartwright however I could vote for. Only Krause could hire a man who cannot speak to motivate a team.

[RainierBeachPoet]

Quinn Buckner hands down....those were miserable times!

those were difficult times for the mavs and i felt for quinn but he was only given one year

winters languished over three years with about the same %...
it was vancouver and the warriors in struggling years too...

[mlh1981]

Phil Jackson

[i seen hippos]

Butch F-ing Carter

someone has to make a tribute thread in his name sometime.

we would never have been stopped with the two carter's and t-mac. shame.

[Niquesports]

Off the top of my head:
Eddie Jordan
Byron Scott
Doc Rivers

*Note - I'm still up in the air about Flip Saunders

How about Don Nelson he has had talent ever team he had and could never reach a title game.
Hasn't Byron Scott been to 2 finals

[9spurs]

Mike Montgomery... he sucks a$$ at coaching an NBA team.

[kentatm]

Larry Brown

talking to other teams about a job while under contract DURING the playoffs while coaching a possible repeat title winner makes him the worst.

he is a snake that habitually leaves teams high and dry the minute he sees more money somewhere else.

[kentatm]

How about Don Nelson he has had talent ever team he had and could never reach a title game.

he also lost Dirk to injury in the WCFs and still pushed the Spurs. so no, Don is not close to worst.

[XxNeXuSxX]

How about Don Nelson



:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[jamesalan9]

I think Tarkanian was the worst coach of them all. His short stint with the Spurs was disasterous, and the fact that the only reason he had any success at all in college was the fact that he had no problem violating every NCAA rule with buying every talented kid with cash payouts and hot tubs!

[Bourne]

You are all wrong.

The worst coach in history is the one who does not play Wilt Chamberlain for the last 3 minutes of a game 7 in the Finals.

The correct answer? Butch/Bill Van Breda Kolff

lol y would u hate on byron scott? not onlyyyy did he lead the new jersey nets to the finals TWICE! in a row, but he just changed the whole new orleans team, they went from 18 wins two seasons ago to 38 wins this previous season, and dont give me the bull**** saying its cause of chris paul. he helped, but byron scott showed him the way, byron is a legit old school dude, he gets what he wants out of his players, i feel bad for him cause he has to deal with tyson chandler now, basically just a taller version of jr smith

If you have NBA TV you may have seen the Training Camp specials they do for each team. He was actually giving players bad information on off ball movement and attacking from triple threat.

Since getting NBA TV I've watched him give players bad info every year in those Training Camp specials.

[Nowitzki41MFFL]

Jim Cleamons

[bokes15]

I'd say Kevin O'neal. And if the Raps don't make the playoffs this year, Sam Mitchell. I don't like a particular comment when he was asked about his coaching in which he said something like, (nobody is good in their first year. i'm new and i'm learning things, you don't begin as a great coach, you just do your best and get better every year). If that's the case, what about avery Johnson's first year. But w/e, i'll wait until the end of the year before i make that final judgment about him.

Also, I don't think that Doc Rivers is as bad as ppl are saying.

[clipps]

Alvin Genty's gotta be down there. Especially in the 02-03 season when the Clippers had all that talent and couldn't even win 30 games.

[Kemosabe]

Jeff Van Gundy deserves a honorable mention.

[RainierBeachPoet]

lenny wilkens and sidney lowe.

ummm lenny won a championship and is a hof-er as a coach and has won more games than any coach in history

:banana: :banana:

lenny is one of the goat coaches my friend

[lawlerslaw100]

Chris Ford who last was fired by the 76ers thanks to AI had
the dubious distinction of going 20-75 in a season and half.

Surprisingly for all you stat guys, Ford's coaching %
in 10 seasons is 468 due to 3 years of coaching the Cs
with good talent. As a comparison, current coach
Mike Dun Sr is at 495 thanks to coaching some lousy
Bucks teams at the same time as Ford had his head start
with the Cs.

As for the actual worst Clip coach that dubious distinction
belongs to the interim coach who replaced Ford, Jim Todd.
Todd won 4 games and lost 33 in the 99 season:eek: :cry:
Interestingly enough one of the worst current coaches, Sam
Mitchell, has Todd as an assistant. Todd is the worst assistant
in the league currently.

It is sad to say that another mediocre Coach Alvin Gentry
was a serious upgrade to Ford and Todd although Gentry is
a decent assistant. D Antoni has him on his staff for a reason.:pimp:

[lawlerslaw100]

These are the fools that devised the defense that allowed Bean Jr to
score 81 last year.:hammerhead:

[JtotheIzzo]

The worst coach ever was (God love him he's a top five player):

Magic Johnson

[RainierBeachPoet]

bob hopkins was bad

5-17 for the sonics to start the year in 1977-1978

then lenny w took over and we recovered to go to the nba finals only to blow a 3-2 lead and lose to the bullets in seattle for game seven

it still hurts to think about

trivia note: dennis johnson went 0-14 in game seven in what could be the biggest choke in finals history

[allball]

The Mighty Quinn and as much as I hate to say it...


Magic Johnson

LOL ! you are blaming the coach ? wilt blatantly quit on that game, everyone knows it, even bill russell (great friend of wilt) called him a quitter and a scapegoat.

[allball]

LOL ! you are blaming the coach ? wilt blatantly quit on that game, everyone knows it, even bill russell (great friend of wilt) called him a quitter and a scapegoat.

The Lakers were heavily favored to win the 1969 NBA Finals against the old, battered Celtics, but then Chamberlain became the victim of one of the most controversial coaching decisions in NBA history. In Game 7, Chamberlain hurt his leg with six minutes left to play, with the Lakers trailing by nine points. Lakers coach van Breda Kolff took him out, and when Chamberlain wanted to return with three minutes left, Van Breda Kolff decided to bench him until the end. The Celtics won, 108-106. When Chamberlain had asked out of the game, the Lakers had been trailing by nine points, but then mounted a comeback to pull within one by the time he asked back in; this caused some to assume that Chamberlain had not really been injured, but instead had given up and "copped out" of the game when it looked as though the Lakers would lose. Because of this, some branded him a scapegoat and a quitter. Even Bill Russell ridiculed him, which almost caused Chamberlain to end their friendship. However, when Chamberlain's teammate Jerry West heard of Van Breda Kolff's decision, he was utterly disgusted, and passionately defended Chamberlain [5]. Furthermore, even Van Breda Kolff, who never got along with Chamberlain (a factor that some speculate may have played a part in his decision to not put Chamberlain back in

[lakers-city]

and because wikipedia alters reality i should believe it ? :confusedshrug:

bill russell and wilt were the best of friends, AND EVEN RUSSELL HIMSELF CALLED HIM A QUITTER !! thats all the evidence i need to know what happened.

[Rasheed1]

It wasnt that Wilt quit....

He had some beef with the coach and when he asked out, I guess the coach was p*ssed and refused to let him go back in when Wilt asked back into the game.. the coach figured they win without Wilt to prove a point...

well it back fired...

Wilt got blamed and the rest is history

[allball]

and because wikipedia alters reality i should believe it ? :confusedshrug:

bill russell and wilt were the best of friends, AND EVEN RUSSELL HIMSELF CALLED HIM A QUITTER !! thats all the evidence i need to know what happened.

First of all, I doubt they were the best of friends. Russell was envious of Wilt from day one and I believe only goaded him to thinking they were best of friends. Much the same way Jordan would do with players whom he really could care less about. When Russ saw an opportunity to embarass Wilt, he took it. They were total opposites as people Russ and Wilt, so why would Russ want to be his friend anyway? To control him mentally. He knew Wilt was a nice soft hearted guy and he exploited it even to the point of pretending they were great friends. He showed his true colors though when this happened. The thing Russ hated most was no matter how many ships he won, back then Wilt was still spoken of as being the best player of all time. This provided the extra motivation to beat Wilt's team most every time.

Either way Wilt won a ship without van Breda Kolff not the other way around.

And secondly why would Wilt quit then? They were mounting a comeback. and why would he want to come back in? I dont know and neither do you.


"The Lakers tied the score in the third quarter before going cold for five minutes. West, playing brilliantly despite his heavily bandaged leg, finally hit a shot to slow down the Celtics, who led 71-62 with about five minutes to go in the third. Then, with 3:39 left, Russell took the ball inside against Wilt, scored, and drew Chamberlain's fifth foul to round out a three-point play that made it 79-66, Boston.

Chamberlain had played his entire NBA career, 885 games, without ever having fouled out. Lakers coach Butch van Breda Kolff decided to leave him in. With Wilt playing tentatively, Boston moved inside and took a 91-76 lead into the fourth.

The lead grew to 17 points early in the fourth, but both Russell and Jones picked up their fifth fouls. Then West went to work, hitting a bucket, a free throw and then another bucket. The lead dropped to 12 points. The teams traded free throws. Then Havlicek got his fifth foul, and moments later Jones closed his career out with his sixth. He had scored 24 points for the day. After a Baylor bucket and three more points by West, the Celtics answered only with a Havlicek jumper, and the lead was down to nine points, 103-94, with a little more than six minutes to play.

At the 5:45 mark, Chamberlain went up for a defensive rebound and came down wincing. He had hurt his knee. He asked to be taken out, and van Breda Kolff sent in Counts. West hit two free throws, and the lead was cut to only seven points. Russell and his teammates were out of gas, hoping to coast to an easy win. But another jumper and two more free throws from West made the score 103-100.

With three minutes to go, Counts surprised everyone by popping a jumper to make it a one-point game. Chamberlain was ready to come back in, but van Breda Kolff resisted. "We're doing well enough without you," the coach told his center. West, at the time, was unaware of this exchange, and when he later learned of it, he was incredulous.

Boston and Los Angeles traded missed free throws. With a little more than a minute left, West knocked the ball loose on defense. Nelson picked it up at the free-throw line and threw it up. It hit the rim, rose up a few feet, and dropped back through. The Lakers missed twice, then the Celtics committed an offensive foul while an angry Chamberlain watched from the bench. After a few meaningless buckets it was over. The Celtics had hung on to win their 11th championship, 108-106.

All of this mattered little to Jerry West. He was overwhelmingly disgusted with another loss. He had finished Game 7 with 42 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. West was named the Finals MVP, the first and only time in NBA Finals history that the Most Valuable Player award has gone to a member of a losing team. The gestures were nice, West said, but they didn't address his agony.

The Lakers, however, had no one but themselves to blame. They had made only 28 of 47 free-throw attempts. Always a poor shooter from the line, Chamberlain was only 4-for-13. But the fault didn't belong entirely to Chamberlain. He had hit seven of eight shots from the field and had pulled down 27 rebounds. Russell, who had played five more minutes, had 21 boards."

you just made my point, wilt not only quit he choked too, i have never seen even shaq losing his team a championship because of his god awful ft shooting.

and seriously, russell who won 11 rings would be jealous of wilt, because he scored 100 and averaged 50 points once ? right.

[Rasheed1]

wilt not only quit he choked too

cant re-write history no matter how much you would like to... Wilt didnt quit.....

Dumb ass laker coach didnt want to reinsert him into the game when they should have done so....

lakers lose... Was that the year Elgin was on the team? yeah well the lakers lost and no ring for elgin


and seriously, russell who won 11 rings would be jealous of wilt, because he scored 100 and averaged 50 points once ? right.

I dont think he was jealous of Wilt, but they had an intense rivalry because Wilt was the best player in the game and he regularly played very well against Rus...

They were good friends, Russell would eat dinner at Wilt's home when he played Philly....They were also serious competitiors and Russell was more of a competitor than Wilt was tho....

[lakers-city]

elgin retired before they won a ring in 1972 and that wasnt the only time he choked in the playoffs, he too choked against willis reed in the series against new york.....twice.

who says Wilt lost the ship because of his FT shooting? BTW Shaq has had some awful FT shooting exhibitions in Finals games including one where he missed 21 FTs in 2000.

Russell was jealous of the love and attention Wilt received from the black community as well as the universal feeling that Wilt was a better player but Russell had a better team. Years later Russell rubbed in his face that he was a better team player than Wilt and thus a better player as did Auerbach. however according to a documentary I watched on Russell and Wilt years ago, Russell resented Wilt's popularity with blacks especially considering that Russell was actively involved in the civil rights movement and Wilt was not at all.

Isnt it curious why he would want to be such good friends with a semi-narcissist who also dated white women?

to me it is.

It's like Jim Brown wanting to be good friends with OJ Simpson.

[Rasheed1]

It's like Jim Brown wanting to be good friends with OJ Simpson.

that does have some truth to it... But Wilt wasnt as detached from the Black community as Oj was... I know they were friends enough to have dinner together and hang out together on many occasions... Russell had that heart of an asassin like Jordan had...He craved winning at any cost, while Wilt wasnt really that way....

Im sure Russell felt he was a more serious man than Wilt, which he was to a degree

[BeckDiggLer]

Tatk the Shark, He had David Robinson yet ran the offense thur crack head-Lloyd Danials.
Brian Hill is also pretty bad and Buckner was also the pits.

[Shepseskaf]

Off the top of my head:
Eddie Jordan
Byron Scott
Doc Rivers

*Note - I'm still up in the air about Flip Saunders
You need to do more thinking. These three might not be in the coach's HOF, but the worst in history? Come on.

My candidate: Mike Montgomery.

[RainierBeachPoet]

and because wikipedia alters reality i should believe it ? :confusedshrug:

bill russell and wilt were the best of friends, AND EVEN RUSSELL HIMSELF CALLED HIM A QUITTER !! thats all the evidence i need to know what happened.

in his autobiography, russ wrote that he also deeply regretted making that statement in public and tried to make amends to wilt for years.

that van breda kolff incident was very unfortunate. from my read of it, it is ultiimately the coach who determines the substitutions/p-t, so van brend kolff is more at fault than wilt-- i believe he ought to have played and he wanted to play in crunch time

[IBLEEDGREEN43]

ML Carr Or Dov Rivers....

[Kyle_korver]

look how much peoples opinion changed on doc

[ballerz]

Rick Pintino was pretty bad

[Niquesports]

Rick Pintino was pretty bad


Rick Pittino would had been much better if Bird Mchale and parrish walked in the door.

My vote is Dick Vital check this bum of a coach out Sorry ESPN but Dickie V was a bum

[code green]

All these young'ns saying Doc Rivers in this tread definitely weren't Celtics fans when ML Carr and Rick Pitino were coaching. I nominate both of those two for this thread's purpose.

[madmax17]

Er, Doc Rivers? He shocked the 'experts', beat the Lakers and the Zen Master, won a ring, great run with the Magic, also won COTY.

Are you looking for the best coach or the worst?

[PHILA]

In Sixers history for me Doug Moe, with EJ not far behind.

[Apocalyptic0n3]

Five pages and not a single mention of Michael Curry? Amazing.

[dak121]

Tim ****ing Floyd

Ass-kisser and a godawful coach

[swi7ch]

Spoelstra, easily.

[Big#50]

Bob Hill
POP

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Right now definitely Spo. He got outcoached in the Finals, was part of the reason the Heat lost.

People sure look at Doc differently nowadays!

[G-train]

Doc still gets canned by many fans.

And its easy to look good when you have 3 HOFers.

There are posters here that could have coached that team with that support.

[Jimmy2k8]

What was the motivation for bumping this 5 year old thread?!?

[SpecialQue]

No love for Mike Dunleavy?

[senelcoolidge]

Mike Montgomery, Rick Pitino, Calipari, and Tim Floyd. All of these so called good college coaches that were terrible in the pros. Now their back in the college ranks cheating.

Wilt Chamberlain of course!

From 'LOOSE BALLS' by Terry Pluto...

Terry Pluto -

"Only the ABA would make Chamberlain a coach, and only one thing could make chamberlain coach the san diego conquistadors: money - $600,000 for one season. Chamberlain coached the Qs in 1973-74, although most people in the ABA would say that assistant Stan Albeck actually coached the team, since Chamberlain didn't make it to all of the games. :facepalm Chamberlain was somewhat dedicated in the beginning as coach, usually showing up for practice. But as the season went on, Wilt wasn't exactly omnipresent." :lol

Mike Storen -

"Of course, he didn't always show up for games. The team would be on a road trip and Wilt would decide that he wanted to go someplace else. This could have been a great opportunity for him and it certainly would have been something for the league, but Wilt never took coaching seriously. He basically hung around with Leonard Bloom all the time and then went to the bank."

Dave Craig -

"But when Wilt was around you knew it. Indiana had a fight with the Qs - Mel Daniels got into it with one of San Diego's guards. Mel was one of the biggest, strongest guys in the league, but Wilt went out on the floor and picked up Mel as if he were a toothpick. The Indiana bench started to come to the floor, but when the players saw Wilt grab Daniels, they decided it was best to go back to the bench. Nobody wanted to deal with Wilt."

:bowdown:


I know this topic is about coaching, and yes, Wilt had no desire to excel at it...but as a sidenote to the above... (and I am paraphrasing from the original which I am just too lazy to look up)...

The Q's were conducting a practice, and, as usual, Wilt was running late. During the practice, a ball got stuck high up in a guidewire. Player after player attempted to tip it down, including 6-11 "Jumpin" Caldwell Jones. None of them could get to it.

Chamberlain finally showed up, and in a suit and tie. He asked what was going on, and when he was informed what had happened, he bet the players that he could get it down. They put their money on the floor, andthe 37 year-old Wilt removed his dress shoes, took one leap, and easily tapped the ball down.

[FireDavidKahn]

I was right on Doc Rivers for 20 years. Now people wake up. Why it took my entire life, I dunno.

Now it's undeniable. He's the worst long term cisco ever. So when I called for him to be Fired, use your eyes

Good call bro.

But for me its Jeff Hornacek, the man who played DRose, Melo and Porzingis in the triangle:oldlol:
