Phil Jackson? Phil was an outstanding coach. won championship as player, as a coach in the CBA, and NBA coach. Phil would win even if he had to rebuild. But that would have been a waste of his talents, because he is masterful at controlling minds and egos. Kobe only won chips under Phil, same with Jordan.

Pep is a great coach, don't get me wrong. Dude can coach, but he falls in love with his system too much, which overrates him. You have to comply to his system, or be out. Sooner or later players get burned out from that, which is why hi third season always go to crap, just like mourinho.

They are both similar in way, where they need big signings to win, and y it is either their way or the highway. It's just that Mourinho is a defensive coach and pep is an offensive coach.

However, there are usually one or two players who truly benefit from his coaching when he coaches a team, with MC it is clearly sterling and KDB.
Both are World Class due to Pep.
