Scott Brooks

What strikes me about Scott Brooks is the arc from role player to respected coach. He won a title with the Rockets in 1994 as a player, but his real legacy came from the sideline, earning NBA Coach of the Year in 2010. There's a particular credibility that comes from coaches who had to scrap for every minute as players, and I suspect that shaped how he related to his rosters. Coming out of French Camp, California by way of Texas Christian, he's never struck me as a flashy figure, just a steady basketball lifer who kept finding ways to stay relevant in the game.

Scott William Brooks (born July 31, 1965) is an American professional basketball coach and former player who is an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). As a player, he won an NBA championship with the Houston Rockets in 1994.
