Are there currently any coaching candidates who have won a championship? I'm asking because I think the answer is no but am not totally certain.

In fact, of the coaches given in the poll in another thread I don't think a single one has gotten any further in the NBA playoffs than Flip. JVG never made it to the Finals, right?

What I have to wonder is what the new coach must have in absence of a ring in order to command the respect of these guys?

I wonder how NBA players view the achievement of a coach who's won a WNBA ring versus, say, an NCAA title or FIBA medal.
