Ranking Eastern Conference Playoff Coaches: Thought Experiment

The only coach I would take Casey over is Whitman. He sucks and Wizards fans seem to hate him as much as we hate Casey.

Its that he runs plays that have limited options, lead to ISO setups, or he hasn't taught his guys how to run the system.
If you watch the Spurs, they only have 2 or 3 different initial sets, but they run them EVERY time, and each of those initial sets has loads of off-ball movement designed to read-and-react to what the defense gives them. These types of offenses are very hard to run, and take years to get ran correctly, but if you want a sustainable team, it is the best option.
The Raptors plays are ball-dominant, where the ball sits in one spot until a specific set of screens is run for a specific cut, and the pass is made. You can watch the player with the ball keep his head on the cutting player, telegraphing the whole thing. Yes it is still a play, but a very High School way of running one...

Atlanta - Buds
Cleveland - Blatt
Chicago - Thibs
Toronto - Casey
Washington - Whitman
Milwaukee - Kidd
Miami - Spo
Boston - Brad Stevens
Charlotte - Steve Clifford
Indiana - Vogel
Brooklyn - Hollins
Detroit - SVG (Probably doesn't belong as they are currently 4.5 games back, but it's SVG so I'd thought I'd Keep him)
Here's a thought experiment: You are a going to be assigned a random playoff team in the East, without knowing which team it's going to be, how do you rank the coaches? 1, being the guy you'd like the most, 12 being the guy you like the least. Also, what are you looking for?
1) Buds
2) Thibs
3) Vogel
4) Spo
5) SVG
6) Stevens (great out of time out plays, which is crucial in the post season)
7) Blatt (I think he's been handcuffed this season)
8) Kidd
9) Casey
10) Steve Clifford (don't really know much about him)
11) Hollins
12) Whitman
I think the top 8 are all solid coaches, and the bottom four have serious flaws (with the exception of Clifford who I don't really know, and just assumed was better than Hollins and Whitman.)
EDIT: Mods, can your fix my title? Who says "Coachers"?!?!?!

And here they are working out of the Horns set.
But yeah, Casey needs to go "draw up some plays". Whatever that means. SMH.
