Doug Collins
before Pistons: 7-12, 37%
with Pistons: 2-6, 25%
after Pistons: none
Rick Carlisle

Few coaches lead more than one decent playoff team in their career and all except Collins had his best playoff seasons with Detroit. Only three NBA coaches have won titles with two different teams: Alex Hannum, Phil Jackson, and
now Pat Riley.
