Phil Jackson has won 10 NBA Championships.  Now, how many times has he coached in the NBA Finals and what coaches have defeated him?

I keep coming up with Doc Rivers as the one and only....but it can't be true.  Can it?  :o


If that's true, it's huge.  In case the Cs and Lakers meet in the Finals, I think the psychological factor, from a coaching stand point, would be mute - instead of Phil's favor as it usually is.

Detroit/Larry Brown beat him in '04.

He's been to the Finals 12 times.  Those are the only 2 times he lost.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

True.  Good 'ol Larry Brown.

Still, a very exclusive club.  Kudos for Doc!!!
