Don’t confuse player management (coaches) with player recruitment (gms). Mike Brown may not use advanced stats but the Cleveland Cavaliers do. The reason that Cavs have been high on Delonte West since he came out of St Joes and finally traded for him was because of advanced statistics.

Honestly, every time I watch a nationally televised game and they wire up the time out huddles, I hear something like this:
Phil Jackson: “we’re reacting to them, you guys need to start forcing the issue”
Mike Brown: “Keep working hard. Keep talking to each other. We get stops at this end, the shots will start falling.”
Popovich: [something sarcastic] followed by “Wow, look, we made a couple shots, they missed a couple shots, and we’re suddenly winning. Basketball’s an easy game gentlemen.”

and Doc Rivers has to take the cake. Anytime I hear him wired he says the most generic things. I’m waiting for the day he says “we just gotta score more points than the other team, guys. You can do it.” (if he hasn’t already said it)

It seems that many coaches allow the assistant coaches to draw up plays. I know on the Cavs, Mike Brown almost never draws up plays on offense, and often times lets the players decide what to do. It seems that head coaches do their micromanaging in practice. So to say they don’t use advanced statistics isn’t necessarily an indictment against their worth. Just my two cents.
