Leading his teams to first round exits or the lottery?

carlisle are all coaches i would take over spol.
arguably i would take brooks as an equal if not better also.
(hes also tied with carlisle and brooks on that tenure and only moved up since the celtics went fire sale earlier this summer)
It doesn't hurt that he's in an absolutely horrid conference outside of Indiana.

actually that was in response to "you know what kobe was doing when he was lebrons age" and he would be correct, when kobe was 28 he was eliminated in the 1st round and had a 42-40 record.

When Kobe was 28, he had Odom and a 19 year old bynum who was more raw than wild game. Lebron is 28 now and he has the Super team which has been together since he was 26.

It is all because of the passion in the game they have which shows their respect towards the game.

The Heat are far from a "super team." They have damn near the worst big man rotation in the league. The closest thing in the NBA to a super team is the Bulls with a healthy Rose.

Bulls?? Rose?? I'm a big fan but I can't even agree that. They're great when 100% healthy though, which is never.

Point is the Heat have a team that's been together for 3 years, this is their 4th. They have chemistry. They have 3+ scoring options. A clutch shooter. A decent bench.

Kobe at 28 had a team where Odom was battling injuries that year, Bynum was in his 2nd year at 19. Everyone else were end-of-the-bench guys yet filled up the rest of the roster...

Yep, and thats a good half excuse for Miami. How were Jordan's centers? Miami with Wade and Lebron alone is a superteam. Put Lebron or Wade with a healthy Kobe and see what happens.
