Don Nelson\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nDonald Arvid Nelson (born May 15, 1940 in Muskegon, Michigan) is a retired NBA head coach. He is perhaps best known as being the coach of the Dallas Mavericks, from 1997 to 2005. Nelson had a career record of 339-251 as the Mavericks' head coach, and was instrumental in building some of the franchise's most successful teams, acquiring such players as Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels as late 1st-round draft picks and unsigned rookie free agents, then watching them blossom into stars. He stepped down as coach of the Mavericks during the 2004-2005 season, turning the reins over to Avery Johnson (a former Mavericks guard). He has also coached for the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors and, briefly, with the New York Knicks. An innovator, Nelson is credited with, among other things, inventing the concept of the "Point Forward", a tactic which is frequently employed by teams at every level today.

Vince Lambardie.  Not sure how to spell his last name but that was the coach.

No, you'd better put Cladio Reyna or Bruce Arena, he's the most inept American coach ever.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Bill Russell who, while with the Boston Celtics as a player and player-coach, won 11 championships in 13 years.

when he could call it quits, his election to hall of fame is just around the corner. he is more than great, he is phenomenal. i mean i could not remember seing any coach having 9 rings in his fingers (plus one as a knick player). the only common thing for other coaches were change of address and not rings. as of 2005, he has the highest win percentage among NBA coaches all-time with 872-353 (0.712). that percentage is pretty hard. its like winning at least 58 games since your first year. he also lead chicago to 55 wins in his first coaching stint.\n\nphil has holistic approach to the game. not that he had good players but he utilize fully his best players to jive with less unheralded players to attaining strong team chemistry. sure he had jordan-pippen, kobe-shaq, now kobe-lamar but basketball is a team sport and as coach he did a very nice job of emphasizing team work. he had tamed hot-heads like rodman, discovered unknowns like kokuc and smush and made longley, wennington, mihm, kwame (not quite so far)fluid passing big men. though there were some instances like 1.8 sec scottie drama or kobe-shaq-phil issue, he was never involve in a feud with players like sprewell-carlesimo. he also has unique zen philosopshy and discipline that affects his basketball aura. though it was tex winter's invention, he successfully applied the rigorous triangle offense strategy. \n\nlastly, he gave young raw players the chance to develop. Just look at what he did to scottie and horace while with the bulls, and while with the lakers fisher, smush, bynum, lamar and kwame enjoyed rigorous motivation including scottie-lamar session and kareem-kwame-mihm-bynum tutorials. Compare that with what larry brown did to darko and arroyo while with the spurs; lebron, dwayne and melo in the olympics. frye, lee, nate and ariza now with the knicks. player motivation is the key. phil is brilliant and has that great charisma.

Ron Artest, nobody knows what that guy is thinking, probably not even himself.  He's a 2006 version of Dennis Rodman, greatly talented but a headcase

Carl Yastrzemski, 1967.  Oddly enough, he won it the year after Frank Robinson did.  Twice in two years and nothing since.

Kerr played for phoenix, clevland, orlando, chicago, san antonio, and portland.  I am positive he never played for the Heat.  I think the other guy is thinking of Thunder Dan Marleje

Pat Riley is the coach of the Miami Heat

Pat Riley has 3 championships to his credit.  Let the record speak for itself.  And he got the Heat to the finals, which is the first time in franchise history, even if they don't win the championship.  I think I smell a Pat Riley hater.
