i sure hope it isn't but I bet it is
This is my list too. Maybe put Red in front of Riley. All of these coaches coached all time great players so Phil shouldn't be looked at negatively just because he was blessed with Jordan Shaq and Kobe.
He took the no offense Pistons to a championship, and made AI's team contenders. He has one of the all time best win records. Nobody's done more with less.

OP is forgetting so many great coaches...its like you only know about ball from Jordan era>>
idk maybe you did put some thought into it but idk how you came up with just those 5 and no John Wooden
(with the exception of Auerbach)
1. Phil Jackson
2. Red Auerbach
3. John Wooden
4. Pat Riley
5. Dean Smith
6. Pop
7. Rick Pitino (smugfavre)

We're talking Pro ball Here obviously

Chances make champions
RICK CARLISLE made the no offense pistons contenders...
Larry Brown is the ultimate opportunist, he will throw you under the bus with the quickness, and is a total scumbag and snake in old man's clothing.
With the intangible said...
This dude has been coaching since 1969. in FOURTY FOUR YEARS of coaching I'd hope to god you stumbled across 2 championship teams. NOTHING he does impresses me besides his ability to like with a bold face. He now takes cushy coaching jobs with a high fail rate so he won't look bad...like the Knicks with an awful roster, the bobcats, and now SMU.
Larry brown is so far down my list, I'm shocked his name is listed here. He is not a BAD COACH, but is he really much better than Paul Westhead??? Westhead is like the anti-larry brown but had almost as much success as him and would've easily won an NCCA title if Gathers hadn't passed.
He's top 5.
Once you get to the top 5 it's all nitpicky from there, but I'd go:
1. Red
2. Pop
3. Phil
4. Riley
5. Daly
Red and Pop over Phil and Riles because they more or less developed the talent they had. Riles and Phil were always given talent more or less. I'd take Chuck Daly over the Lenny Wilkens/Larry Browns

Are we including College coaches?
I can agree with this.

Fukk your corny debates
This. I'll credit him for 09-10, but my rec coach could've won multiple chips with the Jordan-Pippen Bulls and Shaq-Kobe Lakers.
