Why would they go to hall of fame? Because jeff and stan went to finals once in their careers?
Jeff was clashing with houston players, demanding more control over the team.... Players hated him. Hasn't coached a team for over a decade.
Heat had to fire stan to win a championship. His orlando days were two, three at best good years, and that pitty finals appearance because KG was out for boston, and cavs played horrible.
I imagine a hall of fame coach having more on his resume. But I guess anyone gets in there these days.
Doesn't matter about popularity contests, they are both great coaches
Jeff sent an 8th seeded Knicks with an injured Ewing to the Finals. Stan took a team of misfits Orland Magic to the Finals. Both had amazing defensive systems and brought the most out of players. Dwight Howard has his best years under Stan, and hasn't had any great seasons after he left
Remember Stan was the reason the Heat was good in the first place. Pat Riley came at the end and stole the glory
