Basketball...
Not sure about you putting Bob Huggins on there, but I do know his players LOVE him and that he really cares alot about his guys. Tom Izzo is a great call. I would put Brad Stevens from Butler up there. Hes a freakin genius man i got to talk hoops with him last spring. Plus he missed winning a natl champ. by half an inch...literally. And he coached BUTLER. I would also say you got to put Rick Pitino up there.
Football...I like your pics. I know i'm biased SEC but add Spurrier maybe?? OH and can't forget Les Miles! ok that was a joke...
Wow. Mr. McDonald, you've just touched on the only coach who is MORE UNDERRATED than Bobby Cox, and that is Phil Jackson. To say, anyone could win with Jordan, is ignoring the facts. Nobody could win with Jordan....until Phil Jackson. Three long-time well respected NBA coaches coached Jordan on the Bulls for the eight years before Jackson did. Look it up. The coaches were Kevin Loughery, Stan Albeck and Doug Collins. None of them could win with Jordan and they all left the job complaining about how NOBODY could ever win with Jordan because he was so selfish. Then, after Phil Jackson turned Jordan into a star player, and Jordan retired for a year (actually suspended for gambling), the Bulls were just about as good and got to the 7th game of the Conference Finals before being cheated by the NBA, who wanted to have a Patrick Ewing vs. Olajowon matchup in the finals, since Jordan wasnt playing anymore.
Then, after Jordan comes back, wins several more titles, then retires again, he returns from his second retirement with the Wizards without Jackson, he did nothing ---losing record both years and the team complained about his incredible selfishness.
Same with Kobe. Kobe played for several years with the Lakers and with Shaq under coaches Del Harris first and then Kurt Rambis before Jackson. They did nothing----the Jazz bounced them out of the playoffs every year. Then Jackson comes along, and they win multiple titles. Then Jackson retires and the Lakers and Kobe imediately fall apart and don't even make the playoffs. Then Jackson returns and Kobe and the Lakers are champions again.
It is incredible how little credit Jackson gets. Even when he broke Auerbach's all time record of 9 NBA titles, no one ever mentioned that when Auerbach won his titles there were 8 teams in the NBA. How tough is it to win when there were 8 teams? Jackson won 10 titles when there where friggin 30 teams.
Jim Boeheim?? WTF?
Coach- I am glad you commented on Jackson. I did not know that info about Jordan. He has gone up in my opinion now that I know that. And yes it is incredible how little credit he gets and I think its bc of the lack of knowledge regarding what you wrote. I will admit I did not know that. I added Boeheim bc at the time i was running short on names and was tired. Thought about adding Paul Hewitt. Actually i didn't at all hes terrible.
Aaron- Nice call on Pitino and Brad Stevens. Im biased with Bob Huggins bc I like him. Pretty sure hes a big cheater like Calipari but lets be honest if your not cheating your not trying. If i had to win 1 game i would pick Tom Izzo. Every single year regardless of who they lose, injuries and all that crap Mich State makes a deep NCAA run. The guy can coach.
Yeah Izzo's the man. His teams play awesome defense and they run set plays the whole game but they execute probably better than any other team in college bball.
Yeah Coach Phil's the man. That's why the Lakers are winning it again this year. Who is LeBron James??
Lebron James will never be compared with Michael Jordan. I liked him A LOT until the charade he pulled this offseason. The guy has the biggest ego i have ever seen. Anything less than 3 titles is a failure for the Heat. You have the best or 2nd best SG, SF and PF (dont know about bosh) all on 1 team. Also dont care what anyone says they all got together and knew what they were doing very early on. Everything after that was just a show. Pat Riley wouldn't push all his chips into the middle like that unless he new they were all going there.
