Steve Nash is the Nets new coach

[GNG]

Nobody is Pat Riley.


When guys have 15+ season careers I gotta assume if you'd trust em to be a GM, you'd trust em to be HC. Idk.

Riley is probably the greatest HC in NBA history but I'm sure Red Auerbach and Phil Jackson fans would disagree.

Did Magic Johnson? Mark Jackson? oOh sorry, they were black and that doesn't matter, right??

Isaiah Thomas.

If there is 1 professional sports league that can honestly say that it has been fair about giving minorities a real chance, it's the NBA.

They don't have as many titles as Auerbach and Phil, but I'd have to put Riley and Pop at the top of the list.

They have both shown an ability to change their style to fit the players they had that Phil never did and it's hard to know how good Auerbach actually was considering the era he was coaching in.

Derek Fisher had none either, Jason Kidd and in fact I dont think Pat Riley had much when he took over the Lakers and neither did Magic Johnson, but that was a hire I didn't expect.. lol

Any of them do a good job besides Riley?

I forgot about pop. My bad.

When Nash was hired.....

Fizdale
McMillan
Lue
Jackson

Were all available.

Still stunned Nash was hired.

 

[DJ]

Totally agree with Stephen A.

 

[DJ]

Shockingly, Stephen A Smith is race-baiting on this

He's right.

 

[CaptainStubing]

He's right.

you serious, clark?

there have been many ex-black players that have been hired as HC with very little experience.

Not to coach a championship caliber team like the Nets.

Clark? You have me confused with somebody else.

Nash is extremely respected by ex and current players and KD and Kyrie signed off on this. You go ahead and fall into the race bait bullshit as you are being told to do.

geezus. why did i engage?

Race wasn't even in the back of my mind ... until you brought it up.

Steven A didn't wait two seconds after it was announced. White with no coaching experience was the first thing out of his mouth.

Popovich is GOAT NBA coach. Larry Brown is GOAT overall basketball coach
