I love Larry Brown and think he's a fabulous coach, but his career NBA accomplishments pale compared to Pop, yet he is considered the current coaching genius of the league. Where's the love for the guy who really is the current best in the biz?
Just ask Larry Brown; he'll tell you all about how great a coach Popovich is. They're best friends. Pop was Brown's best man in his wedding.

Larry Brown is on the local sports radio afternoon show a couple times a week, and usually, at least once each time, he mentions Popovich and how much he respects him as a coach, a "great" coach.
