    It's pretty self-explanatory. Of the coaches or managers listed, which one is the worst in sports.

    Are we talking just on the playing field?

    How come half of those choices are NYC-centric? Fuck, the whole "the sky is fucking falling, ohmygawwwwwwd" bullshit among the NL East baseball fans is wearing really, really thin on this board.

    Willie Randolph does not belong on this at all. Isiah is a worse GM so I didn't vote for him as a coach. (which he really isn't that bad at) The game has passed Lloyd Carr by, he has taken the fun out of beating Michigan. It isn't even fair any more so he gets my vote. Michigan doesn't lack talent they lack a plan of attack and schemes.

    Besides that, one choice only has a national championship ring. About 100-some coaches in NCAA football would give a left nut to be that terrible. Dude, I'm being blunt I know, but this list is total crap. There shouldn't even be a list. Let people come up with names.

    No, Isiah's an incredibly shitty coach as well. Can't do shit when he has great talent. Ask the Pacers.

    Some guys are bad coaches and good humans. Others are good coaches and bad people. Isiah is all world at both: bad coach, prick.

    I'd like an explanation on how Isiah got the Zeke nickname. I've always been led to believe he cribbed it from Jerry West, who before being known as "The Logo" was "Zeke from Cabin Creek" derived from growing up in Chelyan, W.Va. I'd think Jerry would like his nickname back.

    At least he took them to the playoffs twice. But yes, he's terrible. Everything he gets his hands on either underachieves or completely falls apart.
