Lot of people pointing to Phil Jackson and Pat Riley in these Woody posts. I'll admit - I'm a big fan of those coaches. I believe that some coaches just have a "vision". I think that D'Antoni has potential to be one of these as well. I'm still not sure if Woody is one of these or not. We have to remember he's still a fairly new head coach, and he is getting results, isn't he? I haven't been the biggest supporter, and sometime his substitution patterns boggle my mind, but we're at the top of the league right now.
We have to remember - coaches like Phil and Pat are EXTREMELY RARE. Look at some of the other coaches in the league. Among active coaches - who would you rather have (outside of maybe Phil or D'Antoni, if even them)?
P.S. - Doc is extremely overrated. So is Mike Brown. Right now the difference between Lebron and MJ is that MJ had a coach with vision.
