Wow what an embarrassing thread
Pop is the main reason the Spurs have 5 rings, show some respect
With any other coach, the Spurs would have 0 championships, his system has elevated every player he has ever had
He didn't run a system for years. He almost got fired in 99 because he ran an awful offense with some of the worst off-ball movement I've ever seen from a contender.
Terrible trolling.
Sorry but nobody outside of this message board agrees with you
Only Tim Duncan homers downplay Pop
Pop is overrated and he eats recgonition away from his best players but hes helped develop a culture that's important to winning. Hes a huge reason why the spurs has had great regular season consistency together with RC.
Jerry Sloan is the best coach of all-time, imo.

Jerry Sloan
Pop js easily a top 5 coach though. Not from an x and o standpoint but just his ability to control superstars like TD-Kawhi-Drob and stars like Manu and Parker..not to mention headcases like Jacksom
OP:
Popovich is a great coach, but like Larry Brown, he suffers from too much overcoaching. Then u have guys like Kerr and Jackson that can't coach for . They are great at managing players and just letting them go. I don't know too many coaches that are great at coaching without overcoaching and are great at the x's and o's. Maybe Bird when he was in indiana. Or Lenny Wilkins and Daly. .
Bump..
Phil is 42-0 all time when he had 1-0 lead in the series... Guess what Pop record when he with 1-0 lead?
Yes, Pop is overrated. He used to be underrated, but after 2014 in particular, he became radically overrated. With the teams he's had and losing in the first and second round the last two years, that's borderline a fireable offense in the NBA. That said, he's still a top tier coach and not easily replaceable.
Definitely coat tailing off of his past coat tailing success.
Imagine a two year coach having the exact same roster with the exact same results as CIA Pop had vs Clippers and now Thunder.
Concur, firing would be considered if not done.
Damn...I cant believe I am agreeing with the Op.
Smdh.
You all should get over yourselves -
Love Pop, but he's lost it. the final straw was the snark remark he made to cover up his horrible coaching in the playoffs the last two years.
NASA discovered 1200 habitable planets the other day, get over yourself. This is basketball -
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt due to his 5 rings tbh. Agree he's not top 5 coach ever. He's not even a top 10 in-gane coach ever. But he is still a HOFer and top 10 coach in history.
But he sure is getting exposed these last couple years. We went out in round 1 and round 2. He might be done
"Pop is the most overhyped coach in history of sport!!!"
Just curious. How many "hyped" coaches are there, in the history of sport? Is there like a "Top 10 Most Over-Hyped Coaches" list that Pop is at the top of?
he has drastically lost awareness of the game flow especially in playoffs..dude is wired for regular season dreary December games...he only shows urgency when the time is basically done and dusted in a series.
Danny in Green was in 2013 Finals mode in Game 5 and yet this overrated only saw him fit or 28 minutes when the season was on the line..
without 2014 and 4 previous ships, he would have been Avery johnson status: Avery's 2006 = Pop's 2013 (Finals Choke) / Avery's 2007 = Pop's 2016 (67- win team flame-out) /Avery's 2008= Pop's 2015 (1st round exit)...
Little General got the boot at the end of that three-year cycle..
