Blatt was not considered the best Euro coach when he moved to the US. Try again.

Lol. Try again? Best is subjective.

I'm waiting for one of these great coaches to come to the best league in the world and have success.

As player skill goes up, coaching becomes more difficult to be a standout. That's why you think NBA coaches are worse. The same guys you think are bad or mediocre NBA coaches would look better in Europe.

Who the **** is saying that? I spent two pages insulting the coach. His rotation choices were moronic. However, to use him as representative of all European coaching ever is, frankly, stupid.

Didn't see those pages, was trying to get the game back on ESPN3, but it never happened. I don't have a strong opinion about the Euro coaches, but the Turkish coach last year was horrible too. Blatt was good but he's an American.
 
So far Dantoni is the best to do it with his gimmick offense with no D. His career was carried by Nash and Amare though.

Blatt isn't even in the Top 10 all-time Euroleague coaching contributors. Obra and Messina are echelons over him. Again, you clearly don't know your ****, so it's best not talking about it.

'gimmick offense' that Golden State completely stole, and won a chip with this year.

The level of intellect I'm dealing with. Best I bow out of this one.
 
We are talking about current day coaches.... Blatt was considered one of the best euro coaches for his ers.

Wrong. Blast and Obradovic both started coaching in the early 90s, and are coaching to this day.


Since then, Blatt has won 1 euroleague championship, in 2014.

Obradovic has won 8.

You simply don't know what you're talking about. Phone home.
 
What "era" are you talking about, that Blatt was the best of? The 90s to the 2010s? The year of 2014?
 
To the games tomorrow.

Germany vs Serbia 7MT Germany better hope Serbia lets its guard down after the big win against Spain. Benzing is out apparently.
Bosnia vs France 1MT This one should be an easy one for France. Bosnia missing their best players. Teletovic, Nurkic, and Djedovic.

Games of note:

Greece vs Croatia 1MT Looks like Bogdaovic will probably be out for Croatia. He really smashed his head on the floor in a nast fall vs Slovenia. I think i like the Greeks in this one.
Turkey vs Spain 1MT Could Spain actually lose two in a row. Erden was dominate vs Italy.
A few other games should be really competitive as well. Obviously for all the teams that lost today tomorrow is very big.

Because rings means you are a better coach. Erik Spolstra better than Jerry Sloan,,

When you have the consensus of an entire continent thinking you're better, and you're winning 8x the chips, and you have Greg Popovich admitting to stealing plays from you, chances are that you're a better coach than David Blatt.

very curious to hear the answer of this. What is the era of David Blatt? Because he has been a wholly unremarkable coach from 1993-2013 if compared to the greats of that era.

The only reason people know who he is, is because he is one of few American coaches who had moderate success in the Euros. That is quite literally it. Americans overrate how good he is, just because he's American. Typical.
