Re: Better Coach Pop or Riley?
Pop is a great coach but Riley was able to win a title with different teams many years apart while playing very different syles of basketball. Riley is more impressive to me. Both great coaches.

Pop, he's didn't have Magic/Kareem/Worthy/Wade/Shaq. He had 1 great player for his prime and another towards the end of his career. Who knows what Ginobili/Parker are w/o him.
