I'd go with Mike Brown. The guy would just wander around aimlessly while Kuester was drawing up offensive plays. Never seen anything like that before-- he clearly had no idea what he was doing.
D'Antoni is pretty much just an average coach who was hyped up as a genius because his system inflated stats, but he wasn't terrible. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

I don't know who's worse but i honestly think that D'Antoni is a pretty good coach as long as you buy into his system by building a roster that is suited for it. His Phoenix Suns would've won a championship back in 2007 if not for the controversial suspension of Amare and Diaw for the pivotal game 5 of their series against the Spurs. They had 61 wins that season and were the 2nd seed. Same year where the 8th seeded Warriors pulled off a major upset on the top seeded Mavs.
D'Antoni. Played a hand in Kobe getting injured, alienated everyone(especially Pau by benching him like the first day), one of the reasons why we didn't hire Phil, got us no wins, tried to jam in a system that obviously wouldn't fit the team, etc.
Honestly, what did Mike Brown is what trying to force the Princeton offense in too quickly rather than having us install it slowly while playing to the strengths of the Big 4. That, injuries and a slow defensive team (both coming because of age). Mike Brown preaches defense and protecting the ball while Mike D'Antoni tries to run the same uptempo offense no matter what his personnel.

I voted for MDA. He knew more basketball than Brown, but his arrogance, stubborness, flippant statements about his players and player rotations made him just TERRIBLE. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

Antoni will always hold a place in my heart as the WOAT.

Generally diarrhea by far. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

Mike brown was the worst. He had 4 all stars no injuries a full training camp and could not get them to gel. We should have won the title in 2013. Not hiring Phil for that team was the biggest mistake jerry buss or jimmy buss ever did
Pringles might be bad but he did not have the best team to start with and injuries (even those he might have created with his offense) make it hard to know how good or bad his system was.
I am glad we have B.Scott. I feel like we have a better chance to win than we ever did under both of these other bozo the clowns. _________________ This Laker Organization has not yet hit bottom.

Pringles had Dwight Howard, a beasting Kobe until he injured him, and most of the other same guys Brown had. He didn't have Sessions, nor Fisher.

He didn't get a commitment from management to supply him with the necessary tools to complement his system though. He was given halfcourt players to run a full court run and gun offense.
That would be like using a hammer to cut a 2x4. Now, it might be a beasting hammer, it might be the best hammer ever made, but, it's still a hammer.
