NBA: ESPN Ranks Coaches, Hoiberg Last

I've only watched a little of Fred's Bulls, but they really suck on the defensive end. And they really don't have the shooters to run his system. It's a perfect storm for him to fail.
On the plus side, Prohm probably won't be pulled away from us by the NBA anytime soon.
So there's that.
So there's that.
I feel like if Hoiberg was the coach of the Spurs he wouldn't be last. So take that FWIW and realize how stupid lists like this are.
Too busy arguing w/ Twins in the Big 10 sucks thread.
He does an excellent job of corralling them.
Ownership ratings below. It's simplistic to make a list like this without noting some causation.

Sometimes that defense thing comes in handy. While player and management support has been less than stellar for Fred, his teams have not improved at all over the past 2 years.
Quin Snyder is in the NBA??????? I always wondered what happened to that guy but never cared enough to look him up.
People used to rave about his coaching since he would adapt his system to fit existing players?

While I agree with you, shh, please do not jinx us.
Gee. Nobody at all saw that coming with that roster and that ownership.
He did. At one point. He wrung 4.5 more PPG out of the DG-Thug Life-Uncle Jake-Freshman Ejim-JVB team than McD had out of DG-Thug Life-Gilstrap-Brackins-Hamilton team the year before. He did better after losing a first-round draft pick, the best JUCO in America, and a big man who held on to the point he has had a respectable NBA career.
Once he attained his "Hoiball, pace-and-space, position-less, invert the floor" Platonic ideals with the "chuckin' it" team of five 'guards' (Lucious-Babb-Clyburn-Niang-Ejim) and the "created in a Fred Hoiberg lab" team the next year with Kane/Ejim/Niang he never seemed to be really able to adapt to the personnel that he had afterwards.
