Ranking head coaches in the Pacific Division
um all right enough Lakers how about the Pacific Division in general now that Mike Brown’s locked in oh the division with the Lakers I know right well you know if we’re looking at coaches in the we’re looking at coaches oh the coaches that are signed in the Pacific Division yeah there’s one without a championship as a head coach Mike Brown right yeah and soon to I assume Lakers head coach whoever that becomes because Kerr’s got multiple bl’s got one and Coach Bud now has won or has won not now hard for me to not put Steve CT at the top of the list I that’s fine I mean track record yeah winning percentage Yeah Yeah It’s just tough for me not to here’s my thing with Mike Brown is that too often what do is we you know well how would you rank the coaches in the Pacific Division what would be the uh parameters you would use to come to that decision I would say the first if not top two well what’s their record as a head coach yeah that’s pretty logical sure and honestly I don’t know the answer to that who has more wins between coach Bud brown or tyo I’m assuming well Brown and bu are about the same I would say yeah and I would say Lou is probably third that’s my gu just longevity but then it’s like okay are we looking at total wins or we looking at wins per season yeah percent the context is incredibly interesting here because all right Jason uh I’m a head coach and you’re a head coach let’s go with who’s the better head coach you have a ring I don’t have a ring um your winning percentage is is is 612 and mine is 566 you’re obviously the better head coach and should be ranked ahead of me I think most people would say that just on those parameters and then if we did if we put those out as those parameters we put that out and you had to pick a or b and people were being honest I think you’d win I mean it’d be like in the mid 90s but as so often is the case you you got to go deeper here so for example but hold on what if you took over a championship team when the coach retired and the three remaining Allstars two of which are in their Prime State and and uh I have spent much of my career coaching rebuilding teams and and and really trying to like for example you know who’s probably I would say like if I were to say who are the best coaches the last five years in the Southwest Division I’ll bet you Greg papovich on those parameters is dead last but he sure as hell ain’t the worst coach in that division he’s probably the best coach in that Division and top two three in the entire league most would say number one one or number two so when I look at Mike Brown I think to myself this simply okay do who do I want to put first tyu or Mike Brown I don’t know but would tyou have come in here two years ago and had the Kings the number three seed and then a playin team last year would would he have had 48 and 47 wins consecutively would Mike buen holer would unnamed Lakers coach right I feel like I I i’ have to acknowledge that maybe Steve Kerr would but what what what gets lost with Mike Brown and I’m not a Mike Brown apologist by any means and I’ve been plenty hard on Mike Brown with his you know his rotations frustrate me sometimes uh their lack of holding on to leads frustrates me and I understand that Mike Brown isn’t zero nor 100% of the problem in any of those players everything factors in I I’ve had plenty of issues I had plenty of issues with Mike Brown last year but I go all the way back Jason to I’m going to go all the way back this memory involves you I’m going to go back to an old Pizza on a bench Frankie coming in and stealing you and I doing an interview I can’t even remember with who and all of a sudden we heard a guttural scream from behind us behind the curtain behind us it was Mike Brown and he was screaming back and forth with ran Holmes it was was a call and response scream I I always remember that and it was like a a a an audible representation of Mike Brown announcing his presence at training camp his rookie year with the Kings and it’s like from that point that’s always the start that ah that was the starting gun for me on what he and Monty McNair did to completely gut the culture of this team and change it Mike Brown running wind Sprint saying Turn it the Jets and all that Mike Brown in his postgame comments where he was holding people accountable or defending his people taking technical fouls got the laptop out the laptop out the uh was it in Toronto where he got tossed and Jordan got his first win little things that are so vet of him that really really changed the culture and if I’m Mike Brown’s defense attorney let’s say I could make a I think a very compelling case in a court of law that not only is Mike Brown better than tyo or Mike buholzer but Mike Brown at this Point’s a better Coach than Steve Kerr for the following reason remember Mike Brown was the architect of that defense when he was with the Golden State Warriors they haven’t won a championship since Mike Brown left was Mike Brown The Wind Beneath Steve K’s Wings number one number two he’s had to deal with LeBron James he’s had to deal with Cleveland and the Lakers and obviously Golden State and Draymond Green how has Draymond been since Mike Brown left we have no idea what Mike Brown did behind the scenes if you want to talk about last year I can absolutely prosecute him as having a a a a a a worse year than the year before but what if we’re sitting here a year from now Jason having just come off of King’s long 4A into the playoffs in which they were one of the better defensive teams in the league in the Talk of the Town and we’re going back and we’re re-evaluating all of a sudden not not next season we’re reevaluating this season right now and we’re looking back on that and we’re seeing you know what that Middle season that sophomore slump they were in first off they won what one last game two L games two L games but hearing Mike Brown talk now again this is my fantasy year at the end of next year about how that season was so incredibly important for this one because that was the year that we changed the defensive culture and I knew it was going to and this is him talking I knew it was going to hurt the team in the short term I knew there were some games we lost that we could have won had I just taken my hands off the Reigns and let them run but I knew there was no way we were going to go anywhere beyond the first round of the playoffs until we understand what stood what it took to play defense which is why I established these parameters that paid off in year three it might be Chestnut Checkers with Mike Brown I just just can’t make that determination yet because I haven’t seen next year happen yeah so and I think when you’re looking at the coaches I guess the question would be would other teams Andor the Kings Trade you know Kerr for brown or Lou for brown you know vice versa these teams would they where would Mike Brown sit amongst these other franchises I think they would I mean the the Warriors had him as an assistant I think if Kerr ever had decided to step down and brown was still on that staff I could have seen him getting that job it’s a good question you ask also when you say would the Kings do it yeah that worries me because the Kings had do some really stupid things in the past so I don’t know would if you took a poll of all 30 you know of 20 general managers would they do it as a consensus I don’t know that they trade Mike Brown for Tyron Lou I don’t know that they trade him for Coach bid I would probably go Kerr it’ be cerr and then some sort of amalgamation of brownen Holo you could put any one of them there because you’re also with tyou you got to give him a ton of credit for dealing with all those Egos and really keeping it relatively quiet there and then as you said Mike bu is a recent Championship but God the way he left to Milwaukee obviously did something to turn them off because they wanted to get rid of him before that title and they couldn’t wait to get rid of him after that title they got rid of him for a guy that would have ended up coaching the All-Star team and they got rid of him yeah for Doc Rivers right which let’s just wrap the segment up by saying and and thank God we don’t have Doc Rivers or Mark Jackson could have been that that could have been us that’s what I say at least we’ll take a break when we come
