Interesting. I agree with your earlier observation so for that and other reasons the league is more or less dead to me at this point, LOL, so I don't really get the Kerr/Brown reference.
That said, Pat Riley had some interesting things to say about the notion that coaching didn't matter back when he coached what the rest of the league called "The Fakers." And their record against the rest of the league was pretty impressive, and Pat literally got the job because nobody else wanted it. Showtime is a good read if you haven't read it yet and probably 99 cents at the book store these days.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
