I can see this, but still, hes a top 6-7 coach at minimum IMO. There aren't that many "good" or even great NBA coaches right now.

Based on what?????


Based on my opinion of their ability to put together well coached teams. Pop is a fundamental genius, Spo is an offensive and defensive genius, denying this is pretty dumb.

In fact, I did. I apologize.

I'd say Carlisle would be in the Karl/Vogel category.




gotta disagree with you there.

RC is > Spo/Karl/Vogel/Rivers. None of those guys could have coached the Mavs to a title in 2011. Thibs is close to him but I don't think he is as good at making offensive adjustments.

Can you explain why? Carlisle coached out of his mind in 2011.

But take out that year and hes another Karl.

PeeJ has a point, though. Not entirely correct, but the comparison has substance to it.

Have you seen the rosters Carlisle has managed recently? LOL.

I can coach the Heat to at least 50 wins. Joking, but you know what I mean.

Carlisle took Spo's candy in the 2011 Finals as well.

I will agree w/ you on the 2011 Finals. Spolestra got his shite handed to him.

(And Lebron was AWOL for half the Finals, but that's another issue entirely.)

FWIW, I think Dallas will add a few pieces this summer (dunno about a Superstar) and get back to the West playoffs next year.

Whatever floats your boat, you can be in denial all you want. You just compared a NFL player to a NBA coach.
