  • Sixers Superfan Tom Kline
    10/21/2020 undefined Doc’s coaching record of 943 wins and 681 losses includes 176 more wins than the Sixers had during the same period. Doc spent nine years in Boston, so he knows how to coach in our kind of town with passionate fans and a demanding media. And he’s done the same on the national stage. In short, Doc is a proven winner. There will be no on the job training. That counts for a lot. Doc also knows how to coach superstars. In Boston, he coached the Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce — all first round, top 10 draft picks — taking them to two NBA Finals and where effort, defense, and making big shots in the clutch were hallmarks. Doc led the Big Three to an NBA title over a team led by an all-time great known by one name, Kobe. For the Sixers to achieve their goal of winning an NBA title, Doc will need to lead them past teams led by greats like LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo. This year with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George playing together for the first time, Doc led the Clippers to within one win of the Western Conference finals. Granted, the team had higher expectations and blew a 3-1 lead, but, hey, they are the Clippers. More important, Doc had the fifth-best regular season coaching record in the NBA since taking over the Clippers in 2013. Like the Clippers, the Sixers have two superstars in Embiid and Simmons. The key will be getting both of them to achieve their full potential, while surrounding them with a strong supporting cast and especially a shooting guard.

However, few could have imagined that the Boston Celtics would 5 compile the best record in the NBA in the 2007-2008 season, 66-16, and add to their glorious 6 tradition by defeating hated arch-rival the Los Angeles Lakers and MVP Kobe Bryant to win their 7 league leading seventeenth NBA Championship; and 8 WHEREAS, Kevin Garnett, a superstar playing in relative anonymity for most of his 9 career in Minnesota, was a joy and revelation to observe as he led the Celtics back to glory. We 10 all knew about his intimidating shot-blocking ability, his fierce rebounding skills, his ability to 11 run the court and score quick baskets, his defensive prowess and his superb low post game and 12 sweet outside shot, but his off-court demeanor was even more impressive. Garnett is a caring, 13 kind and compassionate man always available to serve the community and charitable 14 organizations in the region.

The cultural disconnect was that drastic. France, because of its colonies, half the team is black. There was a serious disconnect between the players and the staff. When I was a rookie, we had 3 meetings: one to manage your money, one for security matters, one to handle lovers. All this was meant to protect the NBA brand, the corporate brand.

  • Racial Double Standards? the Case of Expected Performance and Dismissals of Head Coaches In
    Racial double standards? The case of expected performance and dismissals of head coaches in NBA Carlos Gomez-Gonzalez, Julio del Corral, Andrés Maroto ABSTRACT Professional basketball in the US provides an opportunity to test racial differences in the labor market. In contrast to other professional sports, such as baseball or American football, and, more deeply, to other economic sectors, black Americans are represented in influencing positions as head coaches in this competitive setting. The paper investigates the influence of the race of the coach and performance (winning ratio and an efficiency index relative to expectations) on dismissal decisions. The data includes coach- team information over a 20-year period of time in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the analysis uses several probit models. The results show that black head coaches are more likely to be fired and less prone to quit than white head coaches, ceteris paribus. Both measures of performance (efficiency and victories) also play a significant role in dismissals. Keywords: Basketball, Coaches, Dismissal, Efficiency, Race, Performance, NBA 1 1. Introduction In the words of Samuel Johnson, racial discrimination was a fact "too evident for detection and too gross for aggravation" in the American society of the first part of the 20th century (Arrow, 1998, p. 92). African Americans had a strictly limited access to certain jobs, which prevented them from creating a social network and reaching top positions (Ibarra, 1995). In recent years, although African Americans still face barriers to access leadership jobs in certain sectors, they have successfully scale top positions in professional sports, particularly in basketball.

  • The Managerial Contribution of Coaches in the National Basketball Association ∗
    The Managerial Contribution of Coaches in the National Basketball Association ∗ Ramzy Al-Amine y June 2020 Abstract This paper explores the high frequency of front office changes to disentangle the relative contribution of head coaches in the National Basketball Association (NBA). By employing a manager-fixed effect regression approach, it estimates the average additional wins contributed by each head coach since 1985. Not only do the generated fixed effects provide much-needed quantitative insight into the relative effectiveness of current NBA head coaches, but they are also useful in predicting team wins for future coach-roster parings. I find that including coaching fixed effects reduces forecast errors by as much as 10 percent when predicting next season wins. JEL-classification: C13, C23, D22, J44, J63 Key words: fixed effects, managerial contributions, organizational settings, sports, basketball. ∗I thank Tim Willems, Kevin Wiseman, Dan Brown, Petr Sedlacek, Manasa Patnam, Tamim Bayoumi, Vladimir Klyuev and Kevin Mazur for useful comments. [email protected] 1 1 Introduction Despite advancements in analytics, the basketball world continues to lack a systematic quantification of the coaching effect. Those with most silverware are traditionally consid- ered all-time greats. But while championships are a signal for team success, the degree to which coaches contribute to them remains a matter of conjecture. For example, Phil Jack- son's 11 championship rings are often over-looked in favor of perennial superstars (Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal). This paper accomplishes two objectives. First, it estimaties the relative contribution of coaches in light of roster characteristics and in- juries. Second, it determines whether a coach's prior tenures are helpful in predicting his success in future tenures.
