A hint: #1 winning % is an active coach.

4 & 5 are both HoF players.

[bankshot1]

I'd just be Wagging, so I googled.

I probably couldshould have gotten 1 with a little more thought, and maybe one of the other guys, no way I would have gotten all 5.

I leave it to others.

[bodiddley]

4 & 5 both averaged 20 & 10 for their career and both played in the East for just one team (not the same one).

[kiidcarter8]

Utah  -1.5 over New Orleans

Lakers  +1.5  over Clippers

4 & 5 are both HoF players.

1 is Nick Nurse but he is kind of a cheat since he has less than 2 seasons under his belt and took over a ready-made team.

4 & 5 i'll guess KC Jones and Larry Bird

[bankshot1]

I don't think Kam ever saw KC Jones play ball.

I don't think Kam ever saw KC Jones play ball.

Just going based off his coaching record.  He's gotta be up there.

Both your guesses are Top 8 and involve Larry Bird.
I wouldn't have thought of Bird as coach.

1. Nick Nurse    71.2%
2. Steve Kerr    70.9%
3. Phil Jackson  70.4%
4. _________   69.8%
5. Larry Bird     68.7%

Bird coached just 3 seasons.
More or less all of them took over a good situation and rode it (Phil 2x).
And Kerr oddly gets credit for the year Luke coached the team.

6. Popovich    67.6%
7. _______    67.5%
8. KC Jones    67.4%
9. Auerbach    66.2%

Hints:
#4 was a lifelong PHI guy.
#7 was affiliated with LeBJ.

[Kam]

#7 Mike Brown

[kiidcarter8]

Heh

Ingram looks off Redick, misses winning 3

Ball 2-13

[bodiddley]

#7 Mike Brown

That woulda been my guess too.
But Brown a ways down at 61.6% W's.

[Kam]

#7 Ty Lue

[bodiddley]

Wrong again.

Ty Lue 60.7%, a little below Mike Brown.
Which leaves .... ?

Besides Kerr and Jax, this was a tough question.

And who's the Philly player/coach at #4 best Winning %?

[Kam]

#4 Billy Cunningham.
#7 David Blatt
