It could be an end to an era

If OKC wins the NBA Championship, no longer is Larry Brown the only coach to win both a NCAA and NBA title. I like OKC but have to root against them selfishly for this reason.

Has a rookie NBA coach ever won a championship? Heck of a year for Donavan.

Donavan would be the first to have won 2 NCAA champions and an NBA title.

No, he was head coach during the disastrous 2004 olympics that ended with a bronze medal. His team is the reason USA basketball made some radical changes to its process. I am not blaming Larry, as I don't think it was his fault but still it does look bad for him.

Larry had two medals, gold as a player and bronze as a coach.

Steve Kerr did it with Golden State last year.

Other than last year, has it ever been done?

Probably the first year of the NBA

Oh yeah....that's right!

Billy is making Steve look outdated already.

OKC ain't winning the championship so you don't have to worry.
