This is just another reason to hate the NBA and all of its flash and dash. Give me the college game any day.
Do NBA coaches really mean that much?

I mean, hey, there have been some great, influential NBA coaches over the years, but I think today's game is sooooo different than the past. It is completely a star driven league, and whatever the stars want to do, they do.....look at Lebron, Kobe, Howard, even Bynum......you could put Lombardi with those guys and it would not matter......

NBA coaches are nothing more than fall guys for stars in my opinion. If coaches really made a difference, owners would not bend over backwards and break their wallets to sign "big 3's" because a "good coach" could win with six "really good" players......
