Red vs. Phil. No way

Another annoying comparison this week is the Phil Jackson vs. Red Auerbach debate. I wasn't around for Red and can't really speak on the subject, but I have heard people use the fact that Red had more Hall of Famers on his squad. This is a ridiculous argument considering that Red scouted, drafted, and coached these players. Also, there were like 8 teams in the league back then and there are 30 teams now. Every team was packed with Hall of Famers; what was he supposed to do, draft bums? Phil is a fantastic coach, but he will never, ever be revered more than Red Auerbach.
