It is the seventh time in Atlanta history a Hawks coach received the honor and first time it’s been done in back-to-back months. Atlanta recorded a perfect 17-0 record in January (9-0 at home, 8-0 on the road), setting the franchise record for wins in a month, while becoming the first team in NBA history to go 17-0 during a calendar month. The Hawks are currently on a club record 19-game winning streak (tied for the fifth-longest in NBA history) and own the league’s best record at 40-8. The Hawks led the NBA in 3FG% (.415) and assists (459) in January, while pacing the Eastern Conference in point differential (11.9), points per game (105.6), 3FGM (184), FG% (.481), FGM (659), assists per game (27.0), assist/turnover ratio (2.00) and steal/turnover ratio (0.68). Additionally, Atlanta was fifth in the NBA in both defensive FG% (.426) and points allowed per game (93.7). Atlanta tied a team record during the month by making 10-or-more 3FGs in eight consecutive games (Jan. 5-17) and knocked double-digit three’s 14 times overall in January. Budenholzer, who will coach the Eastern Conference in the 2015 NBA All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 15, has also guided the Hawks to a season-high 10 straight wins at Philips Arena and a franchise record 12 consecutive victories over Western Conference foes (7-0 in January). ### The Atlanta Hawks, a member of the National Basketball Association since 1968, strive to be champions on the court and in the community and to create lifelong memories along the way.

    PUBLICATION: ESPN.com DATE: 1/20/15 Best of 2014-15 season's first half By: ESPN.com We're halfway home in 2014-15. Who's been tearing it up thus far? Our esteemed panelists make their picks for the best of the NBA season's first half. 1. Which is the best team of the season's first half? J.A. Adande: Golden State Warriors . It's rare we can slap the label of "best" alongside "most entertaining," but the Warriors consistently play fun games -- and consistently win them. When Andrew Bogut joins Stephen Curry , Klay Thompson , Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes in the starting lineup, the Warriors are 22-1. Bogut brings the interior defense to go with the Warriors' stellar backcourt. Bring back the "We Believe" -- only this time it's time to believe the Warriors can win it all, not just a series. Kevin Arnovitz: Golden State Warriors. Versatility is golden. When you have four or five guys on the floor for 48 minutes who can move the ball, shoot from distance, defend multiple positions and make sound decisions, it's difficult to lose. That's increasingly true with or without a healthy Andrew Bogut, although they're a better team when he's on the floor. Tom Haberstroh: Golden State Warriors, with the NBA's nastiest defense by a mile and an offense that's even scarier as of late. They're 22-1 with Andrew Bogut and Klay Thompson in the starting lineup, and they're averaging 118.6 points over their past 10 games.

Jason Kidd's path from future Hall of Fame point guard to unproven coach of the Brooklyn Nets didn't begin with his 10 All-Star appearances or his 2011 title with the Mavericks. It started with a notebook. "It was something I started during my second time in Dallas," said Kidd, who played for the Mavericks from 1994-96 and 2008-12. "After a game, I would write about different situations and how different coaches handled things. Our coach at the time was Rick Carlisle, and the notebook [which later morphed into a smart phone] was about what kinds of things he did that I agreed with, disagreed with, and what worked for him and what didn't. It also detailed what our opponent's coach might be doing. So I took notes with the idea of, If I was ever in that situation how would I handle it? What would I do? "There was one game at Golden State where we were on a 20-0 run and they took a timeout. They come out and go on a 4-0 run, and our coach calls a timeout. You could feel the air come out of us; you could feel the momentum swinging toward them because of the timeout.

  • March Coaching Notebook 2018
    JUNE 2018 COACHING NOTEBOOK – PICKANDPOP.NET The art of the cut (The Athletic) -When the Sixers call Point, B-Deny or another play that involves Redick running off a screen, he doesn’t view it as his turn to shoot. Instead, he phrases it as “a time to move bodies and potentially move the ball.” From there, it’s up to the Sixers to figure out what the defense is giving them. Brad Stevens and the Celtics have a special brand of toughness (ESPN.com) -Brett Brown, the Philadelphia 76ers head coach, is fond of saying, "The pass is king." As the Boston Celtics extended to a 3-0 lead against Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference semifinals, making seemingly every big play, some Celtics staffers began whispering their own version: "Toughness is king." The last slide of the film edit that Brad Stevens, Boston's coach, showed his team before Game 3 in Philadelphia contained a definition of toughness Stevens found recently in a book (he can't recall which one; he reads a lot): "Toughness is being able to physically and emotionally perform your task through any condition." -"If things are going really well in a home game, do you get caught up in that, or do you keep playing the right way?" Stevens asked in a chat with ESPN.com the day after Boston's Game 3 win in Philadelphia. "If things are going like they were in the second quarter last night [when the Sixers went on a run], do you say, 'I have a job to do and I'm going to do it, and I don't care that everyone is going nuts over this [Joel] Embiid dunk?' That is toughness.

    PUBLICATION: AJC DATE: 1/23/16 Budenholzer says Blatt deserves another opportunity By Chris Vivlamore PHOENIX — And then there were two. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer is one of them. With the Cavaliers firing head coach David Blatt on Friday, two of the NBA’s final four coaches from last year have been let go this season. The Rockets fired Kevin McHale earlier this season. That leaves the Warriors’ Steve Kerr and Budenholzer from the coaches who led their teams in the conference finals. Kerr joked on Friday that perhaps he and Budenholzer should be worried. For the record, Budenholzer is not concerned. “It’s just hard in our league to see somebody who has had that much sucess, that’s done that well, that’s that well-respected, not just among coaches but the whole basketball world has great respect for David Blatt,” Budenholzer said. “That’s hard anytime you see a coach go when they make a change. Hopefully, he’ll get another opportunity. He deserves another opportunity. He’s a great coach. “I think Steve Kerr had a line the other day that he and I need to be nervous. I don’t think he’s very nervous. … I’m not either.” Blatt’s Cavaliers swept the Budenholzer’s Hawks in the Eastern Conference finals. They went on to lose the NBA Finals to the Warriors. The Cavaliers made the coaching change with a three-game lead in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks are third, behind the Raptors, five and a half games back. .

[photo: TG] Williams leads Clip- pers past Grizzlies, 113-105 LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s happening with such regularity now, people are just expecting Lou Williams to come off the bench and put up 20-plus points while leading the Los Angeles Clippers to a victory. Williams did it again Tuesday night, scoring 33 to send the Clippers to their fourth consecutive win, 113-105 over the Memphis Grizzlies. The standout reserve shot 8 of 15 from the fi eld. Continu- ally driving to the basket, he hit all 15 of his free throws. “He’s obviously a great scorer, but when you draw that many fouls and get to the free throw line that many times, you’re almost impossible to C M guard,” Memphis interim coach Y K J.B. Bickerstaff said. Williams leads NBA reserves in scoring at 21.6 points per game. He scored 40 off the bench in his last game against Charlotte. He has scored at least 30 off the bench eight times this season, tied for the second-most in NBA his- tory.

  • A Good Article
    Coaching Articles : Eric Musselman File For Coaches Jackson makes Hall of Fame on principle By Roscoe Nance, USA TODAY Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson heads the 2007 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class, which will be inducted Saturday in Springfield, Mass. The group includes University of North Carolina men's coach Roy Williams, Louisiana State University women's coach Van Chancellor, the 1966 Texas Western University men's team, referee Marvin "Mendy" Rudolph and international coaches Pedro Ferrandiz of Spain and Mirko Novosel of Yugoslavia. Jackson, 61, has won nine NBA championships as a coach — six with the Chicago Bulls and three with the Lakers — tying Hall of Famer Red Auerbach's record. He has coached some of the NBA's greatest players, including Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal with the Lakers. Jackson gets players to buy into his coaching philosophy, which is influenced by Native American and Eastern beliefs. "The great thing about Phil is the way he has handled players," Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said. "He has a different style, too, that old Zen thing. I love him because he never gets too high and never gets too low and always wants to help the guys grow as men. He teaches them basketball and also teaches them outside the sport." One of his more renowned strategies is handing out books for players to read during road trips. "He's trying to get players to see that there's more to life than the NBA and your performance today," said NBA TV analyst Steve "Snapper" Jones.

Email: fi[email protected] Edited by: JoseM´ endez´ [Received on 18 December 2020; editorial decision on 10 March 2021; accepted on 22 March 2021] We consider two large datasets consisting of all games played among top-tier European soccer clubs in the last 60 years, and among professional American basketball teams in the past 70 years. We leverage game data to build networks of pairwise interactions between the head coaches of the teams and measure their career performance in terms of PageRank centrality. We identify Arsene` Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson, Jupp Heynckes, Carlo Ancelotti and Jose´ Mourinho as the top 5 European soccer coaches of all time. In American basketball, the first 5 positions of the all-time ranking are occupied by Red Auerbach, Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Don Nelson and Lenny Wilkens. We further establish rankings by decade and season. We develop a simple methodology to monitor performance throughout a coach’s career, and to dynamically compare the performance of two or more coaches at a given time. The manuscript is accompanied by the website coachscore.luddy.indiana.edu where complete results of our analysis are accessible to the interested readers.
