I’m not quite sure how to put this delicately but I’ll try.  One of the biggest joke jobs in pro sports is the NBA Coach.  I say joke because unfortunately most of their jobs fall on the players.  Don’t get me wrong,  great coaches exist but one has to either have the player personnel to make a team great or that coach has to have the ability to mentally get these guys together to perform day in and day out.

I just think at the NBA level much of it depends on the players and whether or not they care.  Which is why I love Phil Jackson.  Plenty of people will say “oh, he had the best players! it’s bullshit!”  No.  Jackson has an uncanny ability to make even the best players with the biggest egos work together.  THAT’s coaching because at the NBA level all these players are good enough to win.  It’s just that many don’t give a shit.

Other good coaching in the NBA comes when a real shitty team can go .500 because they worked their asses off in which the coach does deserve some credit.

We can talk about this for hours but my point is that there aren’t many NBA coaches that I would consider to be too great at their jobs.  But that doesn’t mean I don’t respect these guys.  In fact, most of them are funny.

And here are 8 entertaining examples
