How A Coach Who Only Used One Tactic Destroyed Everyone

Phil Jackson is regarded as the greatest NBA Coach the world has ever seen.
With 11 rings, 13 trips to the Finals in 20 seasons, and the winner of 3 out of the 5 threepeats in history, many wonder HOW he achieved so much success.
Well, it all comes down to one secret tactic that allowed him to destroy everyone for over two decades, a strategy so good that it even made Michael Jordan into the legend he is today.
But how did he get superstars to embrace this unique approach? And what was the hidden key to his ability to create championship-winning teams time and time again?
The more you learn about Phil Jackson, the more it makes sense about why he was so successful...
This is the story about the GOAT Coach.

@DevandJo another dense comment. All great coaches who won coached great players. That is dumbest detraction yet. Great players come with huge egos and difficult personalities. He managed to coach Shaq and Kobe to a threepeat despite fact they had the locker room divided and hated eachother. B Shaw who was on team said that Phil coached both Shaq and Kobe differently. You take him out the equation that team would implode and split up right away.

It wasn't tactics that made Phil great, he knew how to get the best out of his players. He understood the concept of treating people the way he knew they wanted to be treated. He was an expert in human relations, and that's how he managed all of those egos for full seasons and playoffs, and did so successfully. That, and he was a master strategist. Phil always knew what tweaks he needed to make his team better. He wanted Ron Harper, known for his scoring, to be a defensive roleplayer because of his size and agility. He wanted Rodman because he knew that Rodman had the physicality and fearlessness to go head to head with a guy like Shaq, for example, who dominated them in the playoffs just before acquiring Rodman.

In the Philippines we have a Coach named Tim Cone who runs the triangle as well in our local league, the PBA (2nd oldest basketball league next to the NBA).

What he did at Aberdeen is phenomenal and never repeated in Scotland , add a European trophy too . Then taking on rejuvenating a club with a major fan base that hadn’t won the league or a European trophy in almost 30 years and bettering their history with double their previous trophy cabinet in 20 odds years with multiple different teams not to mention making Man Utd a true global “brand” I hate Fergie and United , so not a fan , but his achievements are vastly superior when you talk about world sport snd history and the vastly harder conditions. US pro sport is a close shop, built to ensure parity by rewarding failure with access to the best draft picks and salary caps (albeit football have something similar in but that’s to protect creditors suffering another Leeds United of 2004 ) . Not easy staying at the top for 20 years, even between 2003-2005 when Man Utd didn’t win much , and despite his record, he had fans questioning his position .

Go back to the Playing days of Jackson. He played on a great team, with a great coach, a great culture, and great players. Clyde Frazier, Earl Monroe, Dave Debusschere, Bill Bradley, Willis Reed.

Great story i heard about Phil’s genius coaching style. when he first took over for doug he had to sell MJ on the triangle and Michael resisted it at critical junctures during the game he would wave off the offense and go into The iso style of play . This would drive assistant coach tex winter nuts and phil wasnt correcting him or scolding him . Tex was irate and challenged Phil on why he refused to call timeouts and tear into Michael .phil told tex he wanted MJ to see that it wasnt working his way and he allowed the team to lose 4 straight . The next day Jordan comes into Phil’s office and says “ ok lets try it your way” the rest is history..

This is all true, I'd like to add the fact that Jerry Krause fired Doug Collins because Collins refused to install the Triangle offense, he hired Phil to run it.

The entire 2004 finals against the Pistons, the Suns series in 2007 Phil called him out that he needed to pass the ball more. The entire 2006 year he never played in the Triangle, he was iso all year..So "embraced" I don't remember it that way. I do remember him committing to it once they got Gasol, he changed his number to 24, and he was winning again. That's just what I remember. Jordan, he would step out of the triangle in the 4th quarter when they needed shots. If they were ahead he played within the system, he ate at the line a lot and developed a killer jump shot. He went from averaging around 35 a game to like 30 and he was ok with it if they were winning and they were. Lastly, it's a boring system. I actually think and this is my opinion they could have put both players in any system and they would win championships. But if they just played ISO ball all game I don't believe they'd ever win anything.

Phil basically always played two NBA level teams. The Bulls team was generally led by Pippen. He distributed the ball on offense and often times defended the other teams best perimeter offensive weapon. And if that didn't work, there was Jordan, a one man offense. So opposing teams could plan and match up well against one but never both. With the Lakers, Kobe was in the Pippen role and with Shaq, another pass the ball and get out of the way offense guy. Later on, Kobe graduated to the Jordan/Shaq role with the Pippen duties passed on to Fisher and Gasol.

@@RT-ig5cs the Bulls: three first team all-defensive players. THREE! the best player who ever lived. the GOAT! One of the best two-way players of all time: Scottie Pippin! The best pound-for-pound rebounder who ever played the game: Rodman. Sure, maybe a really bad coach would have failed to win with this team, but he would have had to be really really bad.

@@RT-ig5csidiot who thinks he’s a basketball genius. I think Phil Jackson refused to coach a team because he knew the roster was ass and would look bad

great video, subbed

[@DSMillwright]

His game plan was simple= Coach the team with the best players, or at least the top 3 teams every year. Michael Jordan and the Bulls made him famous, then he got his pick of teams.

Phil Jackson is good.

[@AnarkeeSoundVibes]

Phil Jackson, Greg Popovic, Larry Brown, Red Auerbach and Pat Riley had different coaching styles that emphasized team basketball in a league of egos.

[@suryac850]

OMG, similar strategies are used by top football coaches like Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti. Pep is known for his triangles and passing games, while Ancelotti focuses on creating a strong team environment.

[@BlueOpinion]

He went to the finals 10 out of the first 15 years he was a Head coach.

[@rayloc420]

he should be considered the greatest. but his name is always followed wirh "he only coached superstars." which is bs because all champions had superstars, with the pistons as exceptions, tho sheed, imo, was a monster

[@dsanchez9703]

Well, he also had some of the greatest if not the greatest Players on his team

[@bballanalytics1552]

well done video

[@josephcosentino8032]

He also had Michael jordan and Scottie pippen though. That was clearly the best roster in the nba regardless of the system

Great video

[@markcarey67]

The Warriors post split action is an automatic out of the Triangle, Kerr just stretched it out to beyond the three point line.

[@julieberbuni7454]

Fun fact: One of Tex Winter's students is Coach Tim Cone of the PBA. He has 21 Championships to date and is the owner of 2 Grandslam (3peat).

[@wazzupjbab]

And now we are using this with gilas (philippines) though more modified for this time. By the way our coach, coach Tim Cone was also a student of Tex Winter.

[@timmaz24s]

All the other 3 peats had dominant centers (Milan, Bill Russel, Shaq). The other two had Michael Jordan.

It always works the best when it’s fresh and new maybe a second time never the third
