Doc Rivers' coaching and playoff record
Doc Rivers' coaching record in the playoffs has come under criticism, with a focus on his lost closeout games, blown series leads, and slow in-game adjustments. Despite this, there is hope that with the Milwaukee Bucks, Rivers can make improvements and utilize the strengths of stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard to make a deep playoff run.
Bill Belichick's coaching legacy
Bill Belichick is regarded as one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time, with his defensive mastermind, innovative systems, and ability to make difficult decisions. However, critics argue that his coaching record without Tom Brady is a cause for concern, especially in recent years with his declining drafting and inability to find offensive weapons. Nonetheless, Belichick's legacy and previous success cannot be ignored, and his coaching skills could still come to the forefront if given the right opportunity.
