The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a major professional basketball league in North America. It was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA).[1] The league adopted its current name at the start of the 1949–50 season when it merged with the National Basketball League (NBL).[2] The league consists of 30 teams, of which 29 are located in the United States and one in Canada.

In the NBA, a head coach is the highest ranking coach of a coaching staff. They typically hold a more public profile and are paid more than the assistant coaches. Lenny Wilkens has coached the most regular season games. He has coached 2,487 games with six teams in 32 seasons. Don Nelson has won the most regular season games and also coached the second most regular season games after Wilkens. He has coached 2,398 games and has won 1,335 games with four teams in 31 seasons. Bill Fitch, Jerry Sloan and Larry Brown are the only other coaches who have coached more than 2,000 regular season games. 23 other head coaches have coached more than 1,000 regular season games. Two of those coaches, Gregg Popovich and Al Attles, have spent their entire coaching career with one team. Popovich has coached 1,963 games with the San Antonio Spurs in his 25-year career, while Attles has coached 1,075 games with the Warriors franchise in his 14-year career.

As of May 17, 2021, Popovich has the most regular season games coached (1,963) with one team, during his 25-year career with the San Antonio Spurs. He also has the record of most game wins when combining regular season and postseason games with 1,480 wins. Larry Brown has coached 9 different teams, the highest number of teams coached among the head coaches.[3]

Former Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers head coach Phil Jackson won 11 NBA championships, the most in NBA history. He is the only coach who has won multiple championships with multiple teams. He won six titles with the Bulls and five titles with the Lakers. He also leads the NBA for the most postseason games coached and the most postseason wins. Red Auerbach won nine championships with the Boston Celtics. He won his first title in 1957 before winning eight consecutive titles from 1959 to 1966. John Kundla, Pat Riley and current Spurs head coach Popovich have each won five championships. Popovich won all of his titles coaching the Spurs as Kundla won all of his titles with the Lakers, while Riley won four titles with the Lakers and one with the Miami Heat. Nelson, Popovich and Riley each won the Coach of the Year Award three times, while Fitch, Hubie Brown, Mike D'Antoni, Cotton Fitzsimmons and Gene Shue have each won it twice. 23 NBA head coaches (Red Auerbach, Larry Brown, John Calipari, Chuck Daly, Bill Fitch, Alex Hannum, Tom Heinsohn, Red Holzman, Phil Jackson, Alvin Julian, John Kundla, Bobby Leonard, Ken Loeffler, Frank McGuire, Don Nelson, Rick Pitino, Jack Ramsay, Pat Riley, Bill Sharman, Jerry Sloan, Jerry Tarkanian, Rudy Tomjanovich and Lenny Wilkens) have earned induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach.[4][5] Auerbach, Daly, Fitch, Holzman, Jackson, Kundla, Nelson, Ramsay, Riley and Wilkens were named in the list of Top 10 Coaches in NBA History announced at the league's 50th anniversary in 1996.[6]

This list includes all head coaches who have coached at least 400 games in the NBA or BAA. The list does not include games in the American Basketball Association (ABA) for head coaches who coached in the ABA prior to the ABA–NBA merger.
