Basketball Coach

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He named his son after himself.
    He played on six different teams, including three separate stints with the Rockets.
    He abused cocaine during his playing career.
    He missed out on being part of the Rockets run to the NBA Finals, after he was released by the team after he failed two drug tests.
    He failed to replicate the same degree of success he had in San Antonio during his head coaching jobs in Philadelphia and Cleveland.
    He posted a record of 79 wins and 209 losses as a head coach in his last four seasons between two teams combined.
    His bald head and thick moustache makes him look like professional wrestler Perry Saturn.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a standout player at the University of Maryland.
    He voluntarily entered a drug treatment program on his own, to risk an expulsion from the NBA over his drug use.
    He earned his way back to the NBA after signing a 10 day contract with the Bucks, which parlayed into a contract for the remainder of the season (1986-87).
    He dedicated his time as a life coach and sponsor for athletes struggling with addictions, and operates a wellness and aftercare substance-abuse recovery program.
    He served as JaMarcus Russell's personal life coach in the years following his draft selection and failure.
    He guided the Spurs to a 39-22 record and a playoff berth upon taking over the team, and earning the head coaching job on a permanent basis.
