Who's the better Coach?
10>4
I voted Phil.
Please stop with these threads aswell, they're boring.
I think Pop could do more with less. He's better at unifying his players and getting them into the team concept. And he's been more consistent over the years. People like to forget those years the Lakers were scraping to make the playoffs with Kobe and Crap.
They both have been blessed with good talent, but Phil still has scoreboard.
Dirty bas .

The homer in me says that Pop is the better coach when it comes to the definition of the word (one who teaches and trains athletes). Pop teaches and gets the most out of what pieces he has. Phil seems to always get already talented players that are a known commodity.
Still, there's no arguing math and yes 10 > 4
its honestly pretty in equal, other than rings of course ... but with coaches, rings are a little less important, especially when you start winning 3+ because that's about all you need to prove you are a great coach. Contrary to popular belief, doing what PJ has done is ing incredible, MJ/Pippen/Kobe/Shaq or not. Dealing with that many different personalities and making it work perfectly has a whole load to do with his coaching abilities. But that said, from a ulative standpoint, he's probably had the most talent of any coach this league ever saw.
So it's true Phil Jackson will always be the better handler of personnel. The Spurs FO never goes with medium risk high reward characters with chemistry issues over less risky options because of Pop's hardnosed style of coaching, for example, while you could say pretty much the opposite about Phil's methodology. Yet when it comes to x's and o's and utilizing players effectively especially on the defensive end, Pop is one of the all-time best.
Phil has the edge. But its real close.
Phil has scoreboard, overall and head to head.
dude give it some time, dont bombard us with these hackneyed polls.
Pop blows when up against the Lakers.
Gotta give it to Phil.
This thread is a no-brainer. Phil Jackson is the obvious choice. 10 is greater than 4. But as a Spurs fan, I will say the fact that Phil has more championships doesn't diminish Pop's accomplishments. You could not go wrong with either candidate imho.
As much as I hate to say it, It's Colonel Sanders.
Phil
3 three peats > every other year
+ , DUNCAN could coach Duncan & Manu.
Id say their about equal, they both had great players, Phil had Lebron and MJ the best 2 players every and Popovich had D-rob and Tim Duncan.
What hurts Pop is he is afraid of Jackson and is in awe of the man. That is the way he decided to play it from the start and I'll give him credit,,,he's never double-backed and deceived himself. He's played the string out all the way down the line.
The two best coaches in the NBA. You couldnt go wrong with either one.
Pop is a one trick pony though. I want to see him coach without Duncan.
Phil has in essence coached three entirely different en ys to NBA Championships.
Though on retrospect I can't recall either coach ever being pressed near elimination in their Finals coaching careers. Phil had a slight scare in '93, and Pop had something of a scare Vs. Detroit, but nothing of any fright or consequence comes to the fore.
Yeah poor Pop didn't get to Nut-Hug off Michael Jordan..
True. Pop has kept his Nut-Hugging exclusively off Tim Duncan.
And Phil has nut-Hugged more Hall of Famers than anyone...
Pop has accomplished the ultimate goal and that is win championships...multiple championships. What more does he need to do than that? He's already one of the most respected coaches in the NBA.
I don't know that many coaches have accomplished which Phil has thus far....that's why he's viewed as the best coach in professional sports.
Remind me, how many small market teams has Phil coached? I don't think he's ever had to worry about building a team with limited budget. Plus the only ing reason the Lakers are champions right now is because of the Gasol trade. It wasn't some miracle playbook by PJ.
I give the nod to Pop, scoreboard be damned.
