If you already saw this then its no surprise.  If not, without looking:

Q) Of all 30 teams, only four NBA coaches have been with their current teams more than three years. Which?

Translation.  26 NBA teams coaches are less then 3 years old.

Adelman just picked up his 700th career win against Portland. Hard to imagine that half of those wins have come in his seven years with Sacramento.

Along those lines, only five current NBA coaches have amassed 500 or more victories. Who are they?

Adelman (gimmie)
Sloan
Karl
Pop
Brown

You got four out of five, WOW.

Bonus points if you can rank the five by their winning percentage, best to worse.

Okay guys. To let you know, Popovich has yet to win 500 games.

Is Fratello coaching right now?  With Flip and Hubey gone I'm drawing a blank on who could have that much time under their belt other than Dunleavy, maybe the Rockets coach?  Silas is out as well.

I'll give the other posters some time before I look it up on the net.

Edit: my other guess was Nelso but he's two games into his retirement already.
