George Karl began his career playing point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, playing five seasons and averaging just 6.5 PPG and 3 assists. His real career began when he took over coaching in 1984-85 with Cleveland. His two seasons there weren’t anything to write home about, but once he became Seattle’s head coach in 1991-91, he sparkled. He would go on to coach for 25 seasons, winning the Western Conference Finals in 1996 and Coach of the Year in 2013.
