IS Pop one of the 5 best NBA coaches of all time?

Alex is enshrined in Springfield. Must I always have to spoonfeed?

The others most certainly were on the Spurs in 00 or 1 or 02, and 03 had both Steven Jackson and Manu.

I think you two were reading my post as if I was saying all were on the Spurs in 2003.

Oh yeah and 6'6" Jaret Jackson also. Plenty of big guards in 2000-2006 for the Philmeister to have the Spurs repeating and doing 3 or 4 of 6 Champs.

the best thing about phil coaching the spurs from 2000-2006 is that he isn't coaching the lakers. still, he doesn't win in 2000 cause tim is hurt. anything beyond that is speculation.

i think phil is stronger at developing self-confidence, but not in x's and o's. pop tried so hard to turn guys like hedo and nick around, but was never successful. other guys like stephen jackson did ok with pop. with phil, i'm just impressed that he got a schmuck like derek fisher to hit big shots.

yeah, I think Pop is still TBD , after 2005 I was thinking he had a chance to make a case of being one of those great coaches.

and I really wanted to see him go head to head with Pat Riley last year.

I don't think having a 70 percent win percentage, and always being contention automatically means Pop was riding Timmy. So I'd say Pop has a good chance of being top 5.

Despite his flaws (stupid losses, he DOES get outcoached and exploited) . He's no Phil Jackson or anything, but he's one of the best coaches in the league today, no doubt about that.
