Sports Take: Gregg Popovich, greatest coach in NBA history

By Gio Gennero | Sports Writer

Gregg Popovich is the greatest head coach in NBA history. Popovich recently jumped to second place for all-time wins as a head coach. However, being two wins away from becoming the winningest coach of all time isn’t the only reason I believe he is the greatest head coach of all time.

In his 26 seasons as head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Popovich has won five championships, three Coach of the Year awards, had his teams competing for titles in three different decades, along with 22-consecutive playoff appearances, the most in NBA history.
