Basketball Coach

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He played for three different teams during the 1974-75 season.
    He was replaced by P.J. Carlesimo in both Portland and Golden State.
    Despite his credentials with the Trail Blazers, he failed to take the Warriors to the playoffs in his two seasons as head coach.
    He bears a resemblance to Adolf Hitler.
    That resemblance was used as one of Phil Jackson's motivational tactics during the 2000 Western Finals.

Why he might not be annoying:

    The Kings never missed the playoffs during his tenure as head coach.
    He guided the Trail Blazers to two NBA Finals appearances in a span of three years.
    He is considered a player's coach by basketball pundits.
    He was rewarded with the Trail Blazers head coaching job on a full time basis after he guided the team to a playoff berth despite having a record below 500.
