    (T2)The lower tier, you have coaches who are competent enough to be competitive, but ultimately losers.
    *see Lawrence Frank, Terry Stotts, Flip Saunders

    (T3)Mid tier, you have coaches that get exactly what you expect from the roster. They add no value but they don't take anything away either.
    *see the Van Gundy's, Rick Carsile, Mike Woodson, Pringles, Erik Spoelstra

    (T4)Upper Crust, Guys who outperform the expectations of your roster.
    *see Tom Thibodeau , Doc Rivers, Mark Jackson, Rick Adelman, LB, George Karl

    (T5)The Hall of Famers. Guys who maximize the potential of a roster by design, cohesion, or teaching.
    *see Phil Jackson, Greg Popavich, Jerry Sloan.

    So the way I look at it is this.
    If you have a bottom 14 team. A T5 Coach can probably get you in the playoffs and a 7 game first round(50/50)
    A T4 will get you swept in round 1
    A T3 will just miss the playoffs
    A T4 is in the lottery
    A T5 is picking top 3.

    If you have a 16-8 team A T5 coach will get you swept in the finals
    A T4 is going to the conference finals
    A T3 first round 7 game series (50/50) renewed
    A T4 swept out of the first round and shitcanned.
    A T5 misses playoffs and gets shitcanned.


    If you have a top 8 team A T5 coach will get you a ring
    A T4 will get you to the conference finals
    A T3 gets you game 7 (50/50) of round 2
    A T4 loses a 7 game series in round one. Shitcanned
    A T5 gets swept out of the playoffs. Shitcanned

    If you have a top 4 team A T5 is getting you a ring
    A T4 is losing to the T5
    A T3 lost to them both in the conference final
    A T2 got upset in round 2 Shitcanned.
    A T1 loses a 7 game series in round 1. Shitcanned.

    If you are Mike Brown, you got pictures of owners fucking little boys and keep getting paychecks.
    Hype?

    I'd count Flip as mid-tier.

    I'd have LB in T5. If I have a good team playing against a more talented team I know I would rather have LB as my coach than Phil Jackson. LB got way more out of way more teams than the Zen Asshole. I mean Zen should be T5 of course, no doubt, but other than the no-MJ years with the Bulls he's really been great at one thing: making sure championship talent wins championships. That's not easy to do and Zen's the best at it. But there are tons of areas I think LB is better than Jackson. And, plus, LB fucking smoked him in 2004.

    I would also argue that should the Heat win the 'ship this year that Spoelstra be considered T4. That would give him 3 consecutive finals with 2 championships. You couldn't use the Lebron argument because Spoelstra would then be showing Phil Jackson like abilities to make sure that a championship level team wins championships.

    I'm torn on Pringles. I don't think he's a complete retard or loser, but Tier 3 might be a tier too high.

    So what Tier is Mo Cheeks in

    Mark Jackson is in the same cateogry as Tom Thibs and Doc Rivers? He's had 2 years of coaching experience, his first year was a huge fail although it was the lockout year and he had multiple injuries. And I hear all he really does is give motivational speeches during his timeouts while assistant coach Mike Malone was the real coach with all the x's and o's.
