The guy has finished the reg season 1st in the Eastern Conf 3 times. Never won made it to the finals in those years.

1st time, was one point away from a commanding 3-0 lead over Toronto, but managed to lose 4 in a row.

2nd time, in the bubble, lost to a Heat team 1-4 that finished 12 games behind them in the W_L column.

3rd time, sound familiar, lost to a Heat team 1-4 that finished. 14 games behind them in the W-L column.

The season they won the trophy, they were literally a fraction of an inch from a disappointing ouster by an injury depleted Brooklyn team. And were fortunate to play a Cinderella Hawks team the next round.

Last year he should be given a pass losing in 7 to Boston w/o Middleton.

Otherwise, Bud looks like a coach who can't get a team but so far before his team somehow implodes @ the end. It's a pattern.
