Often true, but there are enough counterpoints. Billy Cunningham, Larry Bird and K.C. Jones are Hall of Fame players. They also join Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich as the top five coaches by winning percentage in NBA history. Tommy Heinsohn, Jerry Sloan, Larry Costello and Bill Sharman all were very good players and great coaches.
