    Great coaches probably can coach anyone. Sloan has only had great PF's and PG's though. But than I don't think job security makes one great.

    I personally don't think that great coaches can turn shit into diamonds.

    The point was that the qualification of a great coach shouldn't be the players who he coached. Even great coaches need great players to win championships, and there are very few exceptions to that.

    Sure and coaches shouldn't be considered great just because of job security either. With any other frachise in sports he's fired in the early 90's. Does he have a George Karl or Rick Adelman like career or PJ Carleisimo?
