Is This Why Gregg Is Still Coaching?

[Spurtacular]

He needs to set the all-time wins record?

Can’t be. That would mean Gregg isn’t over himself.

[Chillen]

If he doesn't make this team any better and coaches next season getting those 36 more wins for the all-time record may prove difficult. He's lying if he says he doesn't want that record of course he does.

[RC_Drunkford]

Of course it is. You know the old man has never gotten over himself, but wants his players to do so

By the time next season rolls around it will be in the 20s to pass Nellie, not 36. Why shouldn’t he get the record? His win % is 67, and both of the guys ahead of him are in the low to mid 50s. In essence, they did over their whole careers what Pop has done this year so far, .535

[Ice009]

I didn't even know he was that close to the record. I thought he was still a ways off as those guys above him seemed to coach for ages.

He’s doing it in a LOT fewer games.

Nellie 1335-1063 2398 games
Wilkins 1332-1155 2487 games
Pop 1300-634 1934 games

Pop 1300-634 1934 games

Pop 5 rings
Wilkins 1
Nellie 0

This is a subject worth posting about - not a common situation around the forum in recent years. Gregory deserves kudos for the 1300 wins with a much higher W-L percentage than the top two guys.

I can't imagine Pop not wanting that record when it is so close. The young Holts will not get in the way right now.

Hopefully Coach Pop can focus on his job (and not other things - that's a big if) for another year or two if he keeps coaching the Spurs. I wonder if the Olympic BBall gig will get cancelled again and prevent him from that possible career achievement.

I hope he can get enough wins to keep Glenn Rivers from catching him. That Glenn Rivers is a really sorry individual.

Exactly, call it vanity or competitiveness or stubbornness....but when you have a chance to put yourself in a position of "the most winning coach in NBA history", you don't just shrug something like that off.

He already has the record if you count regular season + playoff wins, but that seems to get lost in the ether for some reason.

[BatManu20]

Doc Rivers will likely pass him anyways if he coaches another decade. Doc is at 976 wins and he’s only 59 years old, and it seems like he only ever coaches good teams (Orlando, Boston, Clippers, Sixers, etc.) He’ll likely get the record tbh.

One difference is Popovich has accomplished his number coaching for one organization. That will be tough to beat in the future by anyone as it is exceedingly rare for a coach to stay in one place long enough to get that many wins and that is not taking in to account the ups and downs most team's experience.

[Stump]

Even though Pop is #3 with 1300 wins for regular season, he is #1 with 1470 wins for regular season + playoffs. I personally think the latter is the more meaningful statistic anyway.

[MultiTroll]

Why shouldn’t he get the record?

[timvp]

Only team in the NBA with a plus-.500 record that had no All-Star.

Pop must be doing something right.

:stirpot:

[Ef-man]

Why are timvp and kori still letting the derp continue to post?

Was just surprised that the information he posted was not from gab.

[KobesAchilles]

Shit man if our organization can’t put up with these years of “sucking” for him to get the all time wins then shame on both them and fans. That’s #1 in the entire effing NBA. Why wouldn’t you want Pop to get it?

[SpursDynasty85]

No. He is coaching because basketball has become his life now and all his assistants are getting good jobs elsewhere so he might as well continue until he can't anymore. Also coupled with a combination of: Losing his wife and now basketball is a bigger part of his life, the increased emphasis of our youth developing (he has to really focus on player development, teaching, and mentoring), USA basketball, Trump and racist rebellions everywhere, and maybe grooming one of the younger coaches to be his true successor.

Because they'd rather see the team lose for a few years to get a couple #3 draft picks which aren't going to change a goddamn thing then watch it get shipped off to Vegas.

In essence, they aren't really San Antonio Spurs fans.

psssh ya because the media award failed to pic Derozan.

:cheer:cheer regular season wins by washed vets without playoffs:cheer:cheer

[BacktoBasics]

I guess in OPs cancel culture world you can’t have personal goals.

[Dverde]

Tim Duncan in last place with the best winning percentage.

[Dirks_Finale]

Very likely. Although it sucks that his winning percentage is dipping now.

I've heard him say something to the effect that retirement does not sound like any fun because you can only work in the garden so long before you get bored.

[spurs10]

He's very successful in his field. Doubt seriously he cares about records, especially against his close friends. Again, success brings things like this whether you want them or not.

When he's not creating incredible records, he's fighting fascism which is a win-win! :smokin

Like he wouldn't hire some illegals to do all that. :lol

Still surprised an alt right dipshit such as yourself keeps up with basketball......

Dont you have some tactical gear shopping to do or a proud boy meeting to attend?

[Spurtacular]

:cry

Get over yourself.

[GAustex]

At the rate things are going it’s gonna take poop 2 years to break the record

[BackHome]

Pop needs to fucking go he was the GOAT but his time has passed him by he looks like shit and he coaches like shit right now. And yes he is only staying cause he wants to get the record you don't get this high in life without a fucking EGO and Pop's is freaking HUGE.

Was? I don't think he's a worse coach than he ever was.

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Pop has become like another Texas legend, Sam Houston, in that they were once praised for their monumental accomplishments earlier in their tenures but have become vilified in their later years...

Read some wikipedia and find out why he became unpopular.

So Pop is the DeRozan of coaches. Dayum.

[KaiRMD1]

If so, this team might not get him to the top

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

yep coming out against slavery and all .....

[Texas_Ranger]

He should be fired just cause he cant tank.

[daslicer]

He should be fired just cause he cant tank.

He sucks at winning and tanking. It's really a weird situation to be in. I guess it's the equivalent of being mediocre at your job. It's like when you are not good enough to get a promotion but neither are you bad enough to get fired.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

If anyone was this close they'd want to get that mark. Nothing wrong with that.

[Dex]

Why should Pop go for an all-time coaching record when a bunch of armchair coaches on SpursTalk obviously know better?

Pop lost his wife, of course he wants to stay away from his house as long as possible and i hope i don't have to explain that to someone stupid enough to ask. He gives zero fucks about any kind of record imo.

That means nothing bro, you clearly don't know what its like. When i'm saying his house i mean any house, you just want to work to keep your mind preoccupied with other stuff, i don't mean literally his house, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that.

Anything else Gregg could "preoccupy" his mind with?

There are widows and widowers with 1 10,000th of the resources Craig has that are having to cope with a loss.
