Honestly, there is one situation that was pretty much EXACTLY the same.

Isiah Thomas.

Like Avery, was a long time player and championship winning PG.

Like Avery, he coached two NBA teams, the Pacers and the Knicks.

Like Avery, he had a lot of success with his first NBA job and failed miserable at the second.

Like Avery, he never coached in college.

Like Avery, he surprised everyone and took a mid-level college coaching job.

Florida International, where he went 26-65 in three years.

Larry Bird took Isiah Thomass' mojo at Detroit during the playoffs .
He's been wandering in the wilderness ever since.
