Although Phil Jackson is viewed as one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, former Houston Rockets coach Kevin McHale isn’t exactly a fan of the Zen Master.

Former coaching icon Phil Jackson is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches of all-time, and rightfully so. Jackson boasts 11 titles to his resume, including six straight between the 1995-96 season through the 2001-02 season. Jackson was known for running a system that traces back to the early 1970s of the Houston Rockets‘ years, which is where Tex Winter first ran the triangle offense.
