Dude tried to use Jimmy [expletive] Chitwood as a decoy. Great motivational coach, sketchy X's and O's guy.

But he also coached a team of replacement NFL players to a playoff berth.

He was a buffoonish meatball who played four guys while benching his hottest shooter for not playing the game the right way. Dennis Hopper was the brains behind the team's success anyway.

Coach K- most McDonalds All Americans played for him than any other coach

Jackson- Jordan, Pippin, Kobe, Shaq.....all top 8 draft picks, and HoF players.

Larussa- [expletive] him

Belichick- defensive coach who took largely no-named D's to 3 titles, then led the best offense ever to an undefeated regular season, then won another championship....all while playing with a QB who was picked 199th overall.

Popevich- #1 picks led his teams to multiple titles, but I don't think he's coached any else other than Kawai Leonard who even speaks English as his first language.

 

Belichick or Pop are clearly ahead of the rest of this list.

Oh my bad. Coach D'Amato! He took his team to the playoffs with a raw, inexperienced QB after suffering thru a 3-game losing streak his star QB aging and getting injured, his defensive leader and star LB also dealing with aging and nearly fatal concussions. All this while dealing with a failed marriage, estranged child, and a tumultous relationship with his owner after developing a great relationship and multiple championships with the current owner's father, who recently passed away.

I'm not sure what the parameters of "our era" are but Herb Brooks comes to mind. Or coach Carter. They made a movie about him so he must have been pretty good.
