Last week’s edition of The Bernucca List had been posted for less than an hour before reader Randy – who isn’t necessarily a randy reader – provided the correct answer.
Randy’s response was “Players who wear 0 and whose teams made the playoffs this year.” Nice job.
This week, we have a list of coaches rather than players. However, our postseason theme continues.
If you think you know the common threads among these men, send me a Tweet or post it in the Comments section. As always, the person with the first correct answer gets a shout-out next week.
The Bernucca List
| Rick Adelman |
| Gregg Popovich |
| Doc Rivers |
| Byron Scott |
| Stan Van Gundy |
They’ve all lost a championship or conference final to the Lakers.
That may be true, but not what we’re looking for.
Active coaches with winning playoff %’s.
All five coaches have reached the NBA Finals more than once (even though SVG wasn’t coaching the Heat when they went to the 2006 NBA Finals).
Both incorrect. Here’s a hint. It has to do with losing. CB
