Why is Self so often referred as the next Spurs HC?

He and RC Buford were college roommates at Okla. State, and Self coached RC's son when he played at Kansas. That's all.

[EasyMoney]

Pop would give anyone but Becky hammon the head coaching gig because he does not want to be "that guy" who makes history

[Prime BEEF]

Not a big Self fan but the FO could do a lot worse...like keep pop

He already is that guy who made history by making her an assistant coach. She is not ready to take over as headcoach. This is only her 1st year as a co-head assistant coach.

Yeah that sounds good, but Bryn will never be ready to be an NBA starter playing lots of minutes. That doesn’t stop Pop from starting him every single game.

Pop has no rhyme or reason to anything right now. He’s just collecting paychecks.

[Play Boban]

Fake news

[FkLA]

I'd be ok with it. PopaGOAT can join RC in stands and still be the don, tbh.

I really hope nepotism isn't the principal factor in deciding our next HC...

Why wait?

There actually is logic behind starting Bryn. I disagree with it like many here but the lineup desperately needs shooters.

[FutureMan]

Pop retires at the end of the year with the Spurs making the playoffs, setting the record.

Sixers lose in the first round.

Bill Self is selected as the new Spurs head couch and Embiid asks for a trade to the Spurs to meet up with his old coach.

that's enough history to be made tbh. women should stick to coaching women; men can coach both. women know nothing about playing in the nba or in a mans league and there's definitely clear differences between a mans and womans league. this PC bullshit needs to end already.

[Mugen]

You had me at "will step down" tbh

[RC_Drunkford]

I'm cool with it, he can't be worse than Pop

[SpurPadre]

Bill can fuck himSELF, tbh. I want Manu as coach.

[BillMc]

Hope not.

[DC23]

This guy also predicted the Mavs will make the Western Conference Finals. In order for that to happen, the Lakers would have to finish #1 and Clippers #4 so the team face in the second round or the Mavs would have to beat either the Lakers or Clippers in the 1st or 2nd round. I don't know about that...

As if this franchise cares about shit like that anymore.

[cutewizard]

We need a revolutionary coach

[cutewizard]

Professor X would make a good coach

Right.?

[MannyIsGod]

Its time. I don't think it will be Self, but its time. Pop is the GOAT, but its time.

[KobesAchilles]

I’d rather have D’Antoni once Houston fires him. I’m not so sure Self knows how to coach tbh

[RC_Drunkford]

the day can't come soon enough

[cutewizard]

:bobo

A defensively-challenged coach is your solution?! smh

[UZER]

All those posters saying how dare you not long ago, now starting their own threads crying about Pop. :lol

[KobesAchilles]

We don’t have a SF and without one we aren’t going to have a good defense. We don’t really have the personal for defense so we might as well be fun to watch offensively. I’m not talking about the shitshow Houston is doing but rather the SSOL Suns days

You know it's bad when even the sniffers are turning on Pop

Last time I checked Demarre Carroll is an SF and is definitely better than Brent Forms. We just have the worst coach in the league, that's the real issue

[vavvi]

Is there a chance the Bucks will fire Bud after they lose in ECF again?

[dbestpro]

At this point, I would rather have Avery Johnson instead of Pop. At least it would be nice to have a coach who is as pissed as everyone else when the players suck.

[NickiRasgo]

Is Bill Self good? The only positive I could see is that he'll probably utilize the roster better compared to Pop especially in maximizing the youth.

Check again. The dude can’t guard SFs at all. He’s better than Formes of course defensively but thinking that Carrol will fix our defense is a pipe dream. We don’t have a SF. We have 2 slow ass combo forwards who are closer to being PF than they are SF. We won’t be good defensively until we either sign a real one (not a 35 year old washed up can’t move player) or draft one this coming up draft.

Replacing Bryn fuckin Forbes with a defender is absolutely gonna fix the defense. I agree that Carroll looks really washed up, but he has never gotten consistent playing time, so we can't be 100% sure. Spurs should try to upgrade the position via trade, but obviously won't
