An amazing read -- and for all the talk we've heard of Coach Pop retiring two seconds after TD does I would love to see him stick around and coach up a bunch of young guys into winners...

Awesome article by Forbes!

Is Holt the owner or just managing/public face of an ownership group?

who are the other members of the ownership group? what %ages do they hold?

When Pop decides to hang it up Coach Bud is taking the reins.

There's a reason why when you have "San Antonio Spurs" on your resume, you're more than likely to get a job in the NBA

This is the best I could find for you, from the 2010-11 media guide (there's a chance there's an updated version on the web somewhere):

I wouldn't be surprised if he was joined by Parker or even Duncan when their careers are over.

Spurs are North America's Best Professional Sports Franchise

[TheGoldStandard]

The spurs have had the very fortune success they've had because of the business model, because of the atmosphere and because of the people running the show. We've been able to get very talented players, we don't max contract players but we've kept them and they typically stick around till the end of there career or want to come here at the end of there career. Everything starts from the top and trickles down so we've been lucky to have people willing to open there pockets occassionally and of course selling everyone on the team first mentality and the we'll compete for a title year and year out motto.

I'm sure we'll see Tim, Manu and Tony in some kind of front office role when they are done playing.

[Budkin]

I've seen several articles like this in the past several years. We are truly blessed to be fans of this team. It really makes me think that going forward, even after TD and Manu, and even Parker are gone, we'll still be able to find the pieces to compete.

Probably. Forgive my lack of business savvy, lol.
