Results based analysis would be the laziness of just saying whoever wins is the best which isn't the case. Pop wasn't just great because he won with great players, he adapted and changed his entire philosophy multiple times with different groups to succeed at the highest level from having Duncan...
I'm asking you a specific question, why did we suddenly stop running something that was working or not try and counter anything that Malone did tactically?
I'm pretty sure Spo has been regarded as the best coach in the league by the majority of people for a while. Somehow you're still conflating winning the chip with being the best. Does that automatically make the Finals MVP the best player in the league, no? That's a very simple and basic way of...

Not that I'm watching the game but just thinking about it what's preventing the referees in general from calling the game much more skewed this way for the regular season?
The scoring in general has been much more depressed and not flag basketball.
