My Take
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.
