Belichick easy. He only ever won with Brady as the star.
Pop won with different combos of guys and often less talented than their opposition overall making Parker and Ginobili HOFers when an alternate timeline has them as 6th men role players. Sure, Duncan was the constant, but he was at the very end of his career and a shell of himself during the last run in 2014.
In the NBA, you obviously need talent to win, but tons of coaches fail even with sufficient talent. You need the right coach to bring it all together. Is Phil Jackson a fraud because he only ever won when he had multiple HOFers on his teams?
Belichick got exposed because after Brady left, the Pats fell apart while Brady won another superbowl with a different team and coach. There's also the pre-Brady years which were very bad.
