That's the thing for me. Who's available and a clear upgrade?

Why is it that NBA thinks that Europeans are good enough to play, but not good enough to coach? Even though you can see every second NBA coach is stealing plays from Euroleague.
There's a couple dozen coaches in Europe who would run rings around the Buds of this world, you just may (or may not) need a translator.

TD75 wrote:Absolutely agree here. Unfortunately the only coach most people know here is Obradovic and he is VERY unlikely to come to the NBA to coach, while there are many other coaches that very noteworthy.
Europe is (and has been) years ahead the NBA in terms of innovation in coaching but I am certain many might question this fact.

I don't think it's just about the language barrier. There's also a huge cultural gap that European coaches have to navigate with working with NBA players. That man management is essential to knowing how to get the most out of your players. That's especially the case in a superstar driven league where if you don't get buy in from the LeBrons of the sport, you might as well pack your bags.
I'm not saying that there aren't any Euro coaches who can it well here. But I imagine that's part of the reason why you don't see more making the leap.
I do think you'll see more making that leap over the next decade or so. European soccer is a reasonable analogue, where you can have Portuguese and Spanish and German and French and Italian managers winning big in the English Premier League. My guess is that it'll take one making the leap and doing it well, and the floodgates will open.

This joke wasn't funny in the Kid era.
