Really no coach is perfect, even Phil Jackson has lost in the postseason in embarrassing fashion more than once.
My bad, messed up, my other post is on the bottom.

pop is out of his prime
Put pop with the bucks.same result...fail
The Eastern Conference is weak though, he probably could still get them to the playoffs there.
Phil Jackson didn't even make the playoffs with Kobe. Sorry he benefited from talent much more than Pop ever did.
Phil didn't coach the Lakers during that season..
It was Kobe being exposed without Jackson, becoming one of the only superstars in NBA history that failed to lead his team to the playoffs while in his prime..

Name an all time winning coach without great players?
1. .....
2.N/A
3. Pass
If he can get a team on a 5 game winning streak they could have home court. "The eastern conference where mediocrity happens"
Well, of course you need great players
But Phil s on Pop, that's all
So if Pop got to Coach Michael Jordan during the majority of his prime do they not still win six?
Yes...I'll get hate for that answer im sure but it's how I see it.
Let's face it...Pop is the most overrated coach in the history of the world. If you doubt this, just press "Replay" on Game 6. Any high school coach would have won that game. Meanwhile, Tim is arguably the best big to ever play the game. And Pop takes him out of the game - twice in the last minute, when all we needed was one rebound.
PJ was an amazing 47-0 when winning the first game of a series. He didn't lost too many series where he had homecourt advantage. He was only swept once. And his last season you could tell that wasn't his best effort.
Not with that nonsense he pulled in game 6. The problem is Pop's got no killer instinct that's why he didn't win game 6. He was playing not to lose while PJ always played to win. As a result his teams had the edge.
part of the problem is Duncan is a very introverted person while Pop enjoys the attention. But people wouldn't be hailing Pop as a genius without Duncan that's for sure.
There's not much doubt that Pop benefits when everything is going right. He's pretty much proven to flail when things don't go exactly his way.
I think Robinson and duncan should get more of the credit for the 'culture of the spurs' than even pop.
im starting to think that Duncan deserves more credit for the success of this team and its ability to welcome/develop/assimilate role players and late picks/overlooked talent than pop's coaching.
Pop gets all the credit as a 'brilliant coach' but he is truly stubborn with sticking to players/lineups even when they clearly do not work, for years at a time.
I think duncan and the big 3 have made him look far better than he really is.
As we saw against the Grizzlies if he gets the right gameplan going into the series and the other coach isn't able to adjust he wins the series. If the other coach adjusts he is out of luck.
Jordan would have averaged 28 minutes a game
Lenny Wilkens?
Oh yeah.. Yeah.. Right..
As we saw against the Grizzlies if he actually starts Tiago Splitter they win the series.
