Links of the Day (October 12, 2010)

• SB Nation ranks NBA coaches. Not that SB Nation is any sort of authority on these things, but it's a fairly detailed treatment. What I like most about it is Minnesota's Kurt Rambis being ranked 26th, ahead only of four first-year head coaches. The front office takes a lot of heat for the Wolves' terrible situation, and rightfully so, but Rambis made it worse last year with his impatience and refusal to use his personnel in a way that made sense, given their strengths.
• I love seeing stuff like Wizards assistant Sam Cassell playing one-on-one with John Wall.
• Cool video of Lamar Odom back in the day. As an aside, the streetball culture is something that I don't profess to understand, even a little, but it fascinates me nonetheless and is one of the things I really like about the game.
• Here's the first of what seems to be monthly journal entries from Delonte West. Delonte's an interesting, insightful guy; this should be a good regular read.
