Pop's coaching isn't better except for Bud
The coaching tree is a myth tbh. You're either a good coach or you're not. Luck is an integral part. Pop wouldn't even be coaching had Duncan fallen in his lap. The same with Phil. He was handed an up and coming team with a great support staff all put together by Krause. Pop doesn't use a thing from Larry Brown's playbook and yet he's a part of his coaching tree.
& they shamelessly demonized him.
Being good coach, doesnt mean you are a good mentor and teacher to your assistants. It shouldnt be a parameter, by which you evaulate coaches greatness.

lol damn phil is ing pathetic
his "system" only works if you have Jordan, Pippen, and ref help or a dominant big man and ref help
No they didn't. It was all Phil. He isolated Krause from the team and made MJ & Pippen do his dirty work.
Just shows how brilliant Jackson was tbh. He was surrounded by ty assistants throughout his career and still found a way to dominate while handling the biggest divas and Alphas in the league.
Dude did all the legwork for his staff.
"made"---that's convenient. MJ did nothing that MJ does not want to do. Pippen, he'd a went along with Custer.
But, it does not account for the horde that otherwise descended like a swarm of locust. (Media) openly made fun of his physical appearance.
Phil is overrated, anybody with the ability to analyze beyond just rings can see that. Not only does he not have successful guys in his tree but they aren't even that sought after. Most teams probably realize that they're not going to be able to acquire a Jordan-Pippen or Shaq-Kirby type of duo. Meanwhile Pop's assistants (and personnel within the organization) are constantly being poached by other teams. Guys like Potato Head and Vaughn turned out to be pretty incompetent but Bud is solid and based on his Australian NT coaching Brett Brown seems competent he just needs better players to know for sure. Kerr probably falls under Pop's tree too.

I think Phil Jackson is a great coach, his ability to manage egos is probably the best in the business, especially when he has an enormous ego of his own.
He used his assistant coaches for Xs and Os very well, and he was one of the rare coaches who actually got Rodman to buy in (Daly was that other guy).
That said, he is definitely overrated by some circles, saying that he is the GOAT coach, when others like Daly, Pop, Brown, Riley, and Auerbach (just the pro coaches) can all have as good an argument as anyone.
^& Jackson ain't no saint. After successfully whispering past the graveyard in '09 & '10 when that idiot Howard and no Perkins showed up he left his fat ass out in the wind in '11. Cuban promptly took Gasol to the woodshed as Perkins had done '08 and left Phil where he found him.
Before that Jackson failed comprehensively to meld Daddy & Kobe.
