Mt. Rushmore of Coaches

[Jamezz]

Thought this would be fun, I did the Mt. Rushmore of Players once, time for the coaches now:

Agree, disagree? And why.

I might argue riley over sloan.

Tough to put a coach with no rings on there.

Really doe, as long as pop and phil are on it I have no problems with it

 

[Eminence]

I'd go with Phil, Red, Riley, Pop as my top 4 in that order. Sloan, Larry Brown, Don Nelson, John Kubla, Chuck Daly being contenders that I can think of off the top of my head.

 

[Miggs]

Riley should unquestionably be over Sloan.

Mt Rushmore represents the highest accomplishment of the highest achievers of the vicorors, so the mountain Rushmore of coaches must be phil, pat, Auerbach, and Popovich.

Not far from Mount Rushmore is another little monument. Crazy Horse Memorial

The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, in Custer County, South Dakota. It depicts Crazy Horse, an Oglala Lakota warrior, riding a horse and pointing into the distance. The memorial was commissioned by Henry Standing Bear, a Lakota elder, to be sculpted by Korczak Ziolkowski.

The monument is being carved out of Thunderhead Mountain on land considered sacred by some Oglala Lakota, between Custer and Hill City, roughly 17 miles (27 km) from Mount Rushmore. The sculpture's final dimensions are planned to be 641 feet (195 m) wide and 563 feet (172 m) high. The head of Crazy Horse will be 87 feet (27 m) high; by comparison, the heads of the four U.S. Presidents at Mount Rushmore are each 60 feet (18 m) high. -Wikipedia

I have great respect for Crazy Horse and the Lakota and I see many similarities to Jerry Sloan. The Mount Rushmore monument is completed, a testament to the triumphant. Crazy Horse monument remains unfinished. The Crazy Horse Monument is more interesting to me, standing as a symbol of a conquered people, a way of life ended, and a man who saw the changes coming but faced the world with courage.

You can have your Mt. Rushmore, I will visit CrazyHorse and dream of Jerry Sloan.
