The NBA GM & Playmaker HQ Survey

Who is the best head coach in the NBA?

(NBA GMs)

1. Gregg Popovich – 55%
2. Erik Spoelstra – 17%
3. Mike Budenholzer – 10%
4. Steve Kerr – 7%

(Playmaker HQ)

1. Gregg Popovich
2. Erik Spoelstra
3. Steve Kerr
4. Nick Nurse

So, the NBA GMs are going to pick Coach Pop and Spo as the 2 best coaches in basketball, but neither of them are the best offensive or defensive coaches in their eyes? That seemed a bit odd. We have our #1 and #2 defensive coaches as our best coaches overall and the best offensive coach at #3. Steve Kerr gets the nod over Coach Mike simply because he’s accomplished.
