The question is, did the players make him look good or did he make the players look good?

The answer would be both.
Every great coach has benefitted from players who make him look good. When a team wins a title, the players will usually look good. When that team wins more than a title, they definitely will look good.
Just look at a guy like Larry Brown. Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Richard Hamilton, Chancey Billups, etc. have all made Larry Brown look good. When Brown made the finals with the Sixers, Allen Iverson made him look good. When Brown made the playoffs with the Clippers, Danny Manning and Ron Harper in their primes made him look good.
