TAKE DAT WIT YOU 10/22

I honestly think this is a Mavs fan myth. Don't get me wrong RC is a good coach and he was GREAT in 2011. But in the last decade he was a average coach IMO when you look at the whole body of work in those ten years. 

Here are where RC's teams performed compared to the Vegas over-under post championship...

2012: -8.5 wins
2013: -3.5 wins
2014: +5.5 wins
2015: +0.5 wins
2016: +5.5 wins
2017: -6.5 wins
2018: -11.5 wins
2019: -2.5 wins
2020: +2.5 wins
2021: -0.5 wins

According to this measure 2014 and 2016 were his only really good coaching jobs in a ten year span. Note that this is according to how good Vegas thought those rosters SHOULD perform.


This is only one measure or way of looking at this, so it isn't the end of the discussion. But I think it points to the fact that RC has NOT always overperformed with the talent he has had. Before I looked this up I would have said RC in the lats ten years would have been 50/50, meaning he would have had about equal number of years where he overperformed and underperformed with the roster talent he had.

Not how good the roster should have performed. It´s about the whole team. Including the coach. Meaning that the numbers don´t mean anything if you are trying to isolate the coaching performance.
