is the one that gets the maximum out of the resources that he has. As a society, that is generally measured objectively by wins but, often there is a less quantifiable measure which is why you often here the comment "this may be his best coaching job yet even though the record does not reflect that." It is also different coaching stars and higher level players than a more physically challenged group, accordingly, you cannot just say that anybody can do it with good players. Wooden was a good coach, his record shows that but, the era he coached in and the "other" resources he had should not be discounted. The same applies to a lot of the big names including K, Dean Smith, Adolph Rupp, etc..
