Doc Rivers is a good guy for managing a locker room. He's not a good tactical coach, he wasn't when he was in Boston, and he hasn't improved, where around the league better guys have come in/up, pushing him further down the rankings. He pretty badly mismanaged rotations, schemes with the Clippers, such that they significantly improved with Lue. In PHI, he spent a whole lot of time with nonsensical rotations and usage (of Simmons in particular), and had a habit of claiming they were going to try things (that everyone was saying they should) then not doing it.
Doc is a good manager, he's not really a good coach.
