>Let's start with Mike Brown:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/brownmi99c.html
>
>In his first stint in Cleveland he went to playoffs every
>year, he took Lebron and some dudes from the club to the NBA
>Finals in his second year, won 60+ games his last 2 seasons
>and was fired and had to go work for ESPN.
>
>A year later he was hired by the Lakers and went to playoffs
>in the lockout shortened season, the next season he was fired
>after 5 games due to a slow start when newly acquired Steve
>Nash was hurt, Dwight was recovering from back surgery and
>Kobe was playing with an injured foot and couldn't practice.
>
>He had a second run in Cleveland with Kyrie and some bums and
>had his first losing season over 82 games and was fired again
>a year later.
>
>He sat at home for 2 years until he was hired to be an
>assistant in Golden State. When Steve Kerr was out he led the
>Warriors to a 12-0 post season record but got zero credit for
>it. Luke Walton who Brown replaced went 39-4 in the regular
>season when Kerr was out and continues to get job after job
>because of that. Meanwhile Brown's name doesn't even come up
>for head coaching jobs any more even though he's only 49 and
>his .616 winning percentage is top 10 in NBA history for
>people that have coached more than 3 seasons.
>
>Avery Johnson:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/johnsav01c.html
>
>Won 60 games and went to the NBA Finals his first full season
>as head coach in Dallas, won 67 games the 2nd year but got
>upset in the first round because MVP Dirk bitched up. The
>following season won 51 games but lost in the first round to
>Byron Scott's Hornet's and was fired. He went to work for ESPN
>for 2 years and then took over a bad Nets team and was fired
>in his 3rd season with a .500 record just as they were
>starting to turn around. He went back to TV and ended coaching
>in college. Again his name doesn't even come up anymore for
>NBA head coaching jobs despite his .577 career winning
>percentage. The guy that replace him in Dallas Rick Carlisle
>won a title in his 3rd year but since had had 4 winning
>seasons in 8 years and has had a losing record the last 3
>years but his job security isn't even in question.
>
>Byron Scott:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/scottby01c.html
>
>Took over a trash Nets franchise and had them in the NBA
>Finals in his 2nd and 3rd year. Was fired midway through the
>4th season with a winning record. Took over a trash New
>Orleans franchise, had them in the playoffs his 4th & 5th
>seasons yet was fired 9 games into the 6th season. Took over a
>trash Cleveland team after Lebron left the first time and was
>fired after 3 seasons before he was able to turn them
>around...
>https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2013/04/cleveland_cavaliers_players_st.html
>Took over a trash Laker team in Kobe's final 2 years while
>trying to develop younger players but was again fired before
>he was able to finish the job. He's now doing tv because he is
>not even on the NBA coaching radar...
>
>Mark Jackson:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/jacksma01c.html
>
>Took over a trash Warriors franchise and had them in the
>playoffs in years 2 and 3 and them was fired so Steve Kerr
>could reap the benefits of the players Mark Jackson developed.
>Now he's doing tv and barely gets a whiff for other NBA head
>coaching jobs despite a .526 winning percentage.
>
>
>
>
>
>Meanwhile these trash ass white coaches lose and walk right
>into another head coaching job, they don't have to go back to
>being assistants or doing tv work...
>
>I already talked about Rick Carlisle, 2011 was a long time
>ago...

>
>Luke Walton:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/waltolu01c.html
>Rode Steve Kerr's coattails off the player's Mark Jackson
>developed, didn't do shit in his first head coaching job with
>the Lakers, after they "agreed to part ways" he was promptly
>given another head coaching job in Sacramento despite a .398
>winning percentage.
>
>Mike D'Antoni:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/dantomi01c.html
>Got his first head coaching job with Phoenix and had some
>success but couldn't get them past the conference finals so he
>left there and went to the Knicks where he was mostly trash
>but still given the Lakers head coaching job and he ran them
>into the ground. He was an assistant in Philly for a year then
>was given the Houston job and is still trying to get them to
>the Finals.
>
>Mike Budenholzer
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/budenmi99c.html
>
>A Greg Popovich disciple that had some early success with his
>first head coaching job in Atlanta but the wheels fell off
>quickly. Eventually he and the Hawks "agreed to part ways"
>because white coaches rarely get fired they just decide to
>leave. He was given the Bucks job and is reaping the benefits
>of players developed by Jason Kidd.
>
>Brett Brown:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/brownbr99c.html
>
>Another Pop disciple, had 4 terrible seasons in Philly during
>"the process" but some of the young players he had eventually
>developed and they had some success the last 2 years but his
>teams have looked shaky in the playoffs but the players need
>to figure it out because white coaches are never blamed for
>their teams struggles.
>
>Scott Brooks:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/brooksc01c.html
>
>Took over a bad OKC franchise that had some great draft picks
>and he eventually developed them into a contender than made it
>to the NBA Finals in his 4th year but failed to reach those
>same heights after that and was fired then CHOSE to sit out
>for a year:
>https://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--scott-brooks-passing-on-interviews--likely-sitting-out-next-season-160503597.html
>
>He was then given the Wizards job that continued to
>underachieve despite an All-Star back-court but the player's
>need to figure it out because it is never a white coach's
>fault.
>
>Dave Joerger:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/joergda99c.html
>
>Took over and Memphis team that had fired Lionel Hollins after
>a 56 win season and a trip to the conference finals. Joeger
>never got anywhere close to that and lost in the first round 2
>out of 3 years. Was fired but was promptly given another head
>coaching job in Sacremento where despite some young talent he
>wasn't able to finish over .500 in 3 seasons and was fired
>again but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets another head
>coaching job next season.
>
>Mike Malone:
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/malonmi99c.html
>
>He was trash in Sacremento and was fired and stepped right
>into the Denver job and has them doing well but he may be
>over-matched in the playoffs.
>
>Nick Nurse
>https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/nurseni01c.html
>
>We'll see, somehow as an assistant under Dwane Casey, Nurse
>was credited with everything right with the Raptors while
>everything that went wrong with the Raptors was blamed on
>Casey who was fired. Nurse won 58 games, 1 less than the 59
>Casey won in his last year we'll see how far they get in the
>playoffs with the addition of Kawhi Leonard.
