No Phil wouldnt find a way to cough a championship ov er coaching, now wtf is Duncan is on the bench in the final minutes of close out games........

Pop will forever have a dark light on his legacy, until he wins anther chip, if he fails this year he's s.o.l..................

Great soundbite?

Pop is also a Democrat. Gets him about 10 more points.

But then again Phil pulled this:

lol

I like Tuna. He's one of the most interesting NFL coaches to listen talk. I'd hire him or Herm Edwards just for the post game interviews, alone. To this day i'm still mad no one has hired Herm to unleash him onto the media when he loses a game

I meant to highlight TUNA when i said this. Not Phil

With all due Respect to Riley and Phil, Popovich is better than all of them.

Phil Jackson is horrible at DEVELOPING young talent. Even Riley is better than him in that sense and I think Riley is horrible too at THAT aspect of coaching but he'll make stars and journeymen run through a walls for him.

Phil has the rings and is great at managing great talent. Riley struggles with big egos. Phil is an underrated defensive mind, too. But if I have a team I'm picking in this order

1. Pop
2. Riles
3. Phil

Honorable Mention: Larry Brown and Doc Rivers

Pippen was a 24 years old when Phil took over, Kobe was only 21 years old when Phil took over, Andrew Bynum was 18 years old when Phil came back to LA


All 3 were 24 and under when Phil got to them, all 3 became All-Star players, and 2 of them are 2 of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball


Jordan was only 26 when Phil became head coach as well (the same age as Stephen Curry....do we consider Curry a young player? If so, add Jordan to that list of "young talent" developed by Phil Jackson)

 

[Premeditated]

off course he is. Let Popovich had coached Kobe and he would have 8 rings by now.

I pretty much agree with everything @Intruder v3.0 said. I will also add that Pop is better at making in game adjustments and creating plays after a timeout.
