13 for Phil, 8 for Pat (7 if we don’t count the 1980 Lakers when he was only assistant coach)

At at the time, they were a couple of underwhelming bench players. Jackson was slightly above average on defense, and pretty bad on offense. Riley was even worse at both ends. But, perhaps because they lacked natural talent, they became great coaches who could motivate every player on the team, including the bench players.
