Its hard to rank a guy who has never taken his team to back to back titles as one of the top 5 ever,,,
1. Phil Jackson
2. Red Auerbach
3. Pat Riley
4. Eric Spoelstra
5. Chuck Daly( or Rudy T)
If Popovich loses to Scott Brooks again,,,,his legacy is done.
:lol Spoelstra and Chuck Daly over Popovich? Also Red Auerbach is the most overrated piece of shit in sports history.
No Duncan,,,No rings for Pop,,,,,same goes for the rest but they could defend their title with their star player,,,Pop cant.
Sybok, you are one cheeky **** m8. I swear I'm gonna wreck you, I swear on me mumQuote:

This tbh. Auerbach was against how many teams? Less than 12? Tired old shitbags.Quote:

You are incredibly stupid. Spoelstra?Quote:

You're kidding, right? I am incredibly stupid,,,,beyond belief actually. But Spoelstra has his team poised to go to 4 straight Finals and win 3 in a row at the age of 43,,,,Popovich didn't win his 1st ring til the age of 50 with the best Power Forward of All Time and could never defend a title and actually choked it away last year,,,,game over, son.Quote:

Because according to pop, they're never defending their title since its past history. He doesn't let them embrace the concept of defending. Hell he won't even let the PA guys introduce the team as defending nba champions or nba champions for that matter.Quote:

Does OP feel one needs to be a majority owner to become a top 5 coach?
Didnt watch much of the last three so cant comment on them but huge :tu for the first two tbh.Quote:

Phil Jackson shouldn't be in the top 10 for best coaches. He's got the most team success, but he started with the most material. The best coach gets the best results with the least amount of material. It's like saying Lebron's agent is the best because Lebron is the best, but in reality probably Gary Neal's agent is better because keeping Gary employed is harder than getting Lebron max salary.
terrible point system. does not take into account management of players, scouting/drafting of talent, development of talent, ability to integrate systems, management of news media, maximizing the potential of bad teams, and a number of other highly important factors that go into coaching.Quote:
