Who is the best coach in the NBA?

[Mike-Dub]

I say it is Pop... And Larry Brown should not have more votes than Doc... He is not a better coach than Doc!

[Who]

Phil Jackson in a landslide.

Sure, maybe Pop does more with less, but Tim Duncan is the best big man of our generation

Disagree.

Who's your guy? Shaq?

You could make a point for Shaq.

I think its far and away Shaq.

Yeah, I could see thinking Shaq was the best, esp at the turn on the century.

I think Tim Duncan is the better overall player (more diverse talents), but Shaq is much more dominating.

I still think TD is teh best 4 ever.

Rivers doesn't belong on that list.

Sloan
Pop
Brown

I do think Doc has done an outstanding job in a variety of very challenging environments.

In what way?  His defenses pre-Thibodeau, regardless whether his rosters were vet or young, were embarassingly, cartoonishly bad.  Even when his youth had three years with him, he still blamed the embarassing performance on youth.  He, like the career Phil Jackson, was handed a roster not even Rivers could screw up...As a bonus, Rivers was handed the best defensive coach and the best defensive player in the NBA.  Before that, there was rarely a player in position defensively on any of Rivers' teams.  His record spoke to that.

Can't argue with you on the best 4 part.

Jackson.


He has just won so much more then the rest of the guys on that list. 

[Reyquila]

Who has won the most championships in the last 25 yrs? Thats the one.

[housecall]

I pick Popovich because he has gotten the most out of the least amount of talent than most coaches .Phil has always had the best player(s)in the league.Its a lot harder for him to fail than succeed.Doc is still proving to me that he is a good coach and not an average one.I give both Sloan and Brown the "Longivity Award"but i always felt when Jerry Sloan didn't take advantage of the opportunity of beating the Bulls back in the day,he slide a notch on my poll.

Pop had one of the two dominant men of this era.  Duncan and Shaq have combined for 8 titles. 


That is not having lesser talent.



Larry Brown winning with Detroit is the good coaching title.  No true superstar.  Got a team to completely buy into the system for that one season.

Im looking at his entire roster over the years...when you get pass Duncan,Robinson and Parker,who has he had?Most of his teams consist of medicore players after a few stars.He has won with 2 legit stars,the rest are good to average until they got Ginolbli.

Phil Jackson has always had the best of the best.

BJ Armstrong and Luc Longley are " The Best of the Best"?

Obviously you missed my point or just trying to be a wiseguy...and whats wrong with BJ and luc?Were you old enough to appreciate their contribution to a championship team?
