i think pop is maybe the better x and o coach, but phil is the better superstar coach

i dont think by the way pop runs san antonio he could run a team like the 90's bulls and the lakers because they would internally implode to a point against him and feuds between players would be the downfall of a lot of pop teams. phil had the psychological way of handling huge egos and getting a ton of superstar attitudes to see things on the same page. that is important too.

like now, i dont think a coach like tom thibs would handle a superstar led team. he rules with a iron fist like pop does, he would clash with stars too often and it would cause implosion. but take a coach like maybe george karl, he would handle superstars on a team very well. 2 different styles of coaching. both are still great.

I normally disagree with almost everything you say, but this is on point.

Pop gets my vote.

Pop. Phil Jackson is the most overrated coach ever. Any decent coach would have won rings with MJ, Pippen, Shaq and Kobe when they were all in their primes.

Head to head, Phillip's team beat Pop's team in the playoffs 3-1.
