 Pop
 Kerr
 Stevens
 D'Antoni?

 I'm not a big fan of the latter, but who else deserves recognition for being the on the Mount Rushmore of coaches.

People seem to like Spoelstra. Snyder is pretty good, I guess.

Pop and Stevens are for sure top 2 - no bias here!  ;)

I think it’s clear who the top three are:

Popovich
Stevens
Spoelstra

In that order. I was never the biggest fan of Spo but now I’m convinced, he’s legit.

As for the fourth? I’ve been impressed with McMillan the most, and he’s been around awhile. Sorry but D’Antoni (we’ve seen this rodeo before, we know how it ends) and Kerr (anyone can coach that group, even Luke Walton and MIKE freaking BROWN!!) don't impress me much.

The top four:
Stevens
Snyder
Carlisle
Pop

The elite tier below:
Spoelstra
Kerr
D'Antoni
Stotts

They might be better but it is hard to tell;
(with their current crappy squad or little track record)
Walton
Atkinson
Brett Brown
Joe Prunty - just kidding, Hoiberg

Spoelstra has more a of a rep because of his past players.  But in all honesty, he did not have control over the team during the LeBron years and lost the locker room several times.  But folks here love to the drink the latest greatest kool-aid or whomever the league is marketing at the time.

Red Auerbach
Geno Auriemma
Can't decide on a fourth.
