The 4 Coach Finalists Are... Envelope, PLease...

[Fez Hammersticks]

How much experience did Adelman have when he took the job back in '89?

A few years before that he coached at a CC in Salem IIRC.

What that he wasn't kept to take over Ramsay's spot?

I think he's suggesting that Nate was not the 2nd best coach for the Blazers and his tenure lasted too long.

I would rank the non-interim Blazers coaches (that I personally remember) as follows:

1. Jack Ramsay
2. Rick Adelman
3. Mike Dunleavy (good coach or just good players? I could be persuaded to swap #3 and #4)
4. Nate McMillan
5. PJ Carlesimo
6. Maurice Cheeks
7. Mike Schuler

Edit: Boy, I don't remember Schuler winning COTY. I just remember the players hating him.
