They're basically the same. It's not like one can outcoach the other

I'll give Riley credit....when the Suns beat the Lakers and send Riley into broadcasting in 1990, he knew that Showtime shyt wasnt gonna win no more, so he adapted to the times and his teams became more physical.

Still, Phil got this. The one time a Riley team beat a Phil Jackson team in a playoff series, it was rooted in controversy.

Riles is right up there with Red in terms of being the best Coach/GM of all time

Pat

until I see Phil coach a team that doesn't have stacked talent and go far with it, then he'll never be as good as Pop

Phil. And it's not even close as some revisionist will have you think in here

Riles isn't even up there with West in the GM dept

Phil had better assistants and talent but their both overrated.
