Where does Reddick rank among the post-Phil coaches?

CandyCanes

Through three games, what is your impression? And how do you rank them from best to worst?

JJ is the best coach in the NBA.

Eyeball test, he's the best coach we've had since Phil. Easily.

Frank Vogel was good too....Ill give JJ more games to decide if he is better than Frank but so far so great.

Oh man it's WAY TOO EARLY for this! From what I see through 3 whole games JJ is on top, beating out Vogel and I liked what Vogel did.

Easily best coach since Phil because the Lakers actually look like they are being coached rather than it being a glorified pickup game amongst stars.

JJ is a basketball nerd and it shows in his detail, play calls, and philosophy. Too many NBA coaches just do nothing but sub out guys and attempt to “motivate”. JJ has the Lakers running actual plays and I think it helps that when he was a player he needed plays run for him to maximize his game. And now he’s doing the same for his team.

Adjusting mid game based on film is what you see in the NFL so it’s good he’s doing that same thing with basketball.

I had my doubts, but he is solid.

JJ right now, but let’s waiting until the end of the season before we judge. I’m sure like every other coach we’ve ever had (even Phil and Riley) the fans will hate him as soon as we have a losing steak.

Who has the better offensive mind… Reddick or D’Antoni?

Too early to tell. Need to see the results at the end of the season. Vogel won a championship and Ham was a mediocre coach but still got to the WCF.

Already calling for championship 18 as soon as we hired JJ. I love smart guys.

I don’t know when the appropriate time would be…after 10 games? IST?, Trade deadline? Post season positioning? Playoff performance?…but it does appear to be obvious that 3 games in is way too early to even make a prediction of a reasonable evaluation for comparing.

I’ll pass on the vote to see if this tread is available after at least 10 games and then reconsider. It’s probably better to get at least a half season and probably a full one in to weigh in on such a pondering.

Contending teams win on the road. Character is built on the road. Coaching struggles also take place on the road. Teams sink or swim on the road, especially in the playoffs.

It's a good sign that they are taking care of business at home, but there's a lot more work to be done, and Redick has a lot more to prove. 3 games is way too early to make these kinds of assessments.

Way too early to tell. Let's wait until the all-star break to give him a mid season report and then after the season is over to fully evaluate his coaching ability.

Too early to tell, we need to have success on the road as well.

As of right now he's in Bickerstaff territory.

My answer based on the only metric I care about: Vogel is ahead of JJ because he won a championship with us.
