Larry Brown, 76ers
|
He butted heads with his high-scoring guard and dealt with injuries, but still managed the Eastern Conference title. |
George Karl, Bucks
|
He threatened, benched, and conjoled all his starters this season and all it did was get him a division title. |
Rich Adelman, Kings
|
This young team may be the flashiest team in the league but it also got a lot of wins and Adelman is one big reason. |
Phil Jackson, Lakers
|
His top players feuded all season but they both managed to average over 28 points per game and earned division title. |
Gregg Popovich, Spurs
|
They started slowly but came on in the second half of the season to end the year with the NBA's best record |
