I'm going to pick Jerry Sloan here.

[dwcmwa]

Let's pick up the interest and voting here folks, in the past couple entries the voting and conversation has tailed off, let's at the minimum finish out the Top 10 with a strong showing.

[Y2K]

Red and Alex Hannum will probably be my two choices to pick from in this round.

[dwcmwa]

As for my voting of Sloan, I think it's pretty simple, likely has at minimum 1 title, if he didn't have to go against some of the Greatest Teams ever.

His tenure with Utah was a picture of stability and success and in my opinion what really puts him over the top is his longevity at doing so.

[dwcmwa]

Red and Alex Hannum will probably be my two choices to pick from in this round.

Yeah Holzman is another solid choice here, I'll vote for him at 10 though if he doesn't get voted here.

K.C. Jones

K.C. certainly a heck of a Coach, but I think it's a notch too early here, and he isn't even a candidate for this pick.

[Havlicekstealsit]

Cunningham. And Larry Costello deserves mention, especially before Sloan and other coaches who never even won a title.

[Carpediem77]

KC Jones....two titles during the era of the Showtime Lakers...career winning % of .751 reg season, .602 playoffs.

Nice resumé. Too bad that he didn't coach longer, but it was longer than Billy Cunningham.

[dwcmwa]

Only 2 votes? Cmon now.

[dwcmwa]

2 votes only? unacceptable.

[dwcmwa]

Cunningham. And Larry Costello deserves mention, especially before Sloan and other coaches who never even won a title.

it's not all about winning titles, you can't really blame Sloan for making the Finals twice only to run into two of the greatest teams and the GOAT player of all time. Plus his longevity of consistent greatness (making the playoffs almost every year for over 20 years) earns him a spot over the rest here.

[LNS]

I motion that we let this ranking die off after 8 coaches.

[dwcmwa]

[dwcmwa]

Time to finish this up.

[elmouse03]

I will say Hannum. He is the reason Russell is 11-2 and not a perfect 13-0.

[Havlicekstealsit]

I feel like we just don't really give too much of a crap about ranking coaches here. I mean we just bumped a thread here nobody touched for six months.
