Umm... does that make a difference? Phil won more titles with the Lakers in a shorter period of time.

I didnt mean he won more than Pat, I mean in the time period Phil coached in, he won more than Pat would win in that time period. that was the point i was trying to prove.
I still don't know why were arguing about this.Pat won more rings with the lakers and was in La longer. He deserves the coaching position.
Whoa... Major bump from March 22ndI'd pick PJ over any coach ever.Riley may have spent more time, but that's because he needed to. Phil Jackson doesnt need all that time to get 3 championships.
I would pick Riley over Jackson for LA. Jackson will go down in History being remembered more for the Bulls than Lakers, but Riley was Mr LA.
