| 05:41 PM ET 11.02 | Ernie Johnson ask the question who was the greatest coach ever. Barkley said John Wooden, Kenny said Red Auerbach, Shaq said Phil and it went on and on. Greatest coach of alltime in college was Wooden in the NBA Auerbach. But when the conversation came up about the talent on those teams and Phil Jackson's " Triangle Offense " and the way his teams ran it I came to this conclusion. The entire panel of Barkley, Kenny, Shaq, Webber, Reggie, Smitty, and Kerr ar not very bright. Why ? Because the " Triangle Offense " came from Tex Winters he was the architect of it and not Phil. Without it and the talent Phil had on those championship teams would they have won? The answer is NO. Phil won on the coattail of Tex.
