Well do you think the NBA was any better a few years ago when Rudy T. and Pat Riley were still coaching? Their past titles certainly weren't doing much for them. I do agree in that there are too many green, former players being hired without much coaching experience (i.e. Doc Rivers and Maurice Cheeks). Not only that, good coaches like Rick Carlisle and Paul Silas get the boot without good reason. I think if coaches like Carlisle and Silas are given some time to develop a team then we will see a new guard of championship teams (or maybe just consistent Eastern Conference champions).
