Red vs. Phil

"What about the Auerbach-Phil Jackson comparisons? Those should stop, too. Phil is a manager, more Tony La Russa than Red Auerbach. Phil quietly sits in his dugout and sends out Zen-gnals hoping they reach his players. The tactic works great when you have Jordan and Pippen, Shaq and Kobe interpreting the Zen-gnals. Gasol and Odom, Radmanovic and Vujacic desperately needed translators and kicks in their asses.

They would've heard and understood Red.

Also, it goes without saying that Jackson will never be as important and as influential as Auerbach."

Great point by Jason Whitlock!

through all the wired moments on tnt, it didn't seem to me phil had any great coaching moments. his comments seemed cliche and weak. it's not exactly all coaching that got him mj, kobe, shaq. i mean, we saw what great players can do for a coach this year with doc right? phil is overrated.
