Just thought I should let everyone know what my standards are for greatness considering how Miller is a hall of famer already to most here and any negative comments directed at him makes me a pariah/troll.

No, really . . . thank you.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Rocky, you should go hang out on a board with people as smart as you and as good at life as you.
No need to hangout with the idiots and mouth breathers here.

It's all subjective to some extent. I legitimately would like to know what coaches people think I missed or what coaches don't belong on the list. I think Thibodeau and Kerr are both big stretches but honestly the coaching in the NBA is limited. Now that I think about it Rick Carlisle probably deserves to be on the list.

Re: COACHING MATTERS (For your consideration)
Why should that matter to one who cares so much about being right?
Why should you care about being well-heard if you know you're right? Your truth will out, Rocky.

Who in the world doesn't care about being right? That would be completely crazy if someone didn't care about being right. Now that being said, I also don't mind being wrong.

But in my book, you gotta get to White Castle before the weirdos show up!
Tonight he gets Happy-Go-Jackie on the big white guy like a donkey eating a waffle!
