PJ never lost to an 8th seed.

Most overrated coach in NBA history other than Phil Jackson.

PJ got his pushed in and ushered out quite properly as a defending champ by Dirk.
The mark of a great coach is his ability to coach, not in his front office's ability to acquire superstar players. Phil played Kobe too much, and he was pretty much along for the ride in Chicago who wanted to oust him a few times but MJ wasn't having it. It's about in-situ adjustments that neither coach really knows how to make. They both just had superior talent on the team and now Doc doesn't know what to do without Rajon ing Rondo?
LF, leavin' D...dead in the ground.
Kinda like how life has left Jerry Buss.
They caught lightning in a bottle det year. One and done. These are things even mono knows.
-10 points for subliminally trying to troll esteemed Laker Fans everywhere with this thread.
League needs to send all black coaches into exile
Don't try and get even, D. Just take it. You've scored some direct hits thru my tenure. But, this, D, this time LF caught ya and slapped the snot out of ya. You're okay though.
and he always went back to back
Doc and Phil have one thing going for them...they don't look like Pop
at DMC
LMAO! You caught him right in the old gut.
Your judgement isn't that great, and you're a biased old so your input here is taken with a grain of salt.
^ based on a true story.and he always went back to back
As usual, you can dish it. You just can't take it.
^ which promptly caused him to himself
Phil Jackson isn't overrated, he's just lucky as .
I agree that's why this Phil Jackson coached line-up is the sickest in History
Shaq - C
Rodman - PF
Pippen - SF
MJ - SG
Kobe PG
that very well could be the most unstoppable team ever assembled..so lucky? YES
He cannot be both the best coach in NBA history and lucky as at the same time. You have to credit his success to either coaching or luck. If you split it, you diminish both. What coach has be more lucky than Phil? Phil inherited a team that made it to the conference finals. He inherited MJ and Pippen. He inherited Tex Winter and the triangle offense. He then took a couple years or so off and inherited one of the wealthiest franchises in the NBA, along with the most unstoppable center since Wilt and a young superstar in Kobe Bryant, and Tex Winter with his triangle offense. He was then gifted Pau Gasol after failing to make a mark without a dominant presence in the paint, losing to the Suns in a barely above .500 season and seeing Bryant, his superstar, crying to S.A. Smith about being traded.
I'm not saying he was horrible, but he wasn't the best coach just because he had the most success as a coach just as Fisher wasn't the best PG just because he had the most success as a PG. We can allow that Horry isn't above MJ or Kobe or even Vince Carter, but he has 7 rings. Why then can't we allow that Phil isn't above Riley or Larry Brown or Pop or Sloan or Nelson even though Phil has all those rings?
Kkobe averaged 33 mpg their last year together, Jackson was working towards lowering his minutes.
that's pretty fast.
I don't mean too many minutes, I mean the offense should have gone through Shaq because no one could stop him. Instead, Kobe had to get his. I understand making the opponent respect the outside shooting of the other players, but Shaq was shooting in the 60% area if not higher, and getting 20 rebounds a game. He even complained about not getting enough touches. If Shaq gets his, he sticks around and they win even more.
Phil was a great mediator, but not a great coach. What great subs ution or timeout or play did Phil ever ins ute that made you think "wow, what a great coach"? He didn't even call timeouts when he should because his team was head and shoulders above the rest so they would eventually catch up anyhow.
I don't follow you, but as for just the minutes criticism I don't think it holds water. He dropped his minutes the last year and Kobe was still young for the most part when Jackson had him.
33mph... miles per hour
