Carlesimo went on to have a pretty solid coaching career--he definitely did wonders for that Nets team in the second half of last year.
Not really; don't get the wrong impression from looking at their record. Carlesimo just allowed the inherent talent on that team to play itself to wins -- there wasn't much coaching involved.
That's fairly nebulous. I mean, one could make the same argument about Phil Jackson's teams.
Phil Jackson's strengths were in getting people to buy into his system. He was a master of managing personalities; the man managed to get Kobe and Shaq to stop hating each other just long enough to three-peat. That's not the case with P.J.
