Spurs now have Brett Brown, Mitch Johnson, Matt Nielsen and Candice Dupree as Assistant Coaches.

[Leetonidas]

:tu

queue the incels...

[Chinook]

The Spurs badly need new talent in that coaching room, so I'm glad to see them add someone from a still relatively untapped market. Cynically speaking, it's good that it's someone who is less likely to be poached over the next year or two.

[KingKev]

Agree with Chinook (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=37557) atleast we know we aren’t training her up on the job just to leave for bigger and better things two years later.

PATFO had a good history of scouting otherwise un-scouted foreign players once upon a time but that competitive advantage became widespread. Next was our scouting of great global basketball minds.

How long till we start scouting WNBA players lol we could use a wing like Juwanna Mann

[Dverde]

Her and Pop have the same barber.

Looks like she and Sochan have the same hair stylist?

[dbestpro]

Suit him up.

[vy65]

Wonder how he’ll be as a coach?

[RD2191]

Suit him up.
:lol

[rjv]

dbestpro with the first zinger, even it it was unoriginal and stale.

[KingKev]

All jokes aside she probably is good enough to make the current roster.

[timtonymanu]

Suit him up.

Sadly

[spurs1990]

Could pass for Parker’s sister tbh. So essentially Dupree is England’s spot on the staff unless I missed other transactions over the long boring Spurs offseason

[BackHome]

I thought that was Sochan for a second

[RC_Drunkford]

Another lesbian?

I hope Michelle Beadle makes inappropriate advances and gets fired. Listening to her on the telecast is fking painful.

[heyheymymy]

Welcome Coach Candice.

Won the 2014 Championship - Sounds like Spurs material to me. The future is bright.

Meh, I have a pretty big crush on Beadle. Didn’t realize she swung that way though.

Why not just make Becky coach

[ducks]

Her and Pop have the same barber.

Does the barber trim their private hairs ?

[paperboy77]

Now it becoming a sham.

I know there's really nothing to say she's a good coach or not but just watching her she seems to have a great demeanor. Maybe she is an asset to the org.

Was Curry the donor to the kid on the right?

[wildbill2u]

She may be. or become, the greatest assistant coach in NBA history, but you have to ask the questions about whether her hire was primarily because of her race and gender. Spurs are probably the most woke team in the NBA. Will that make a rat's ass difference in their performance on the court--- or simply signal the moral virtue of Pop, the FO and the owners.

If the hire was for virtue signaling, I'm happy for the Spurs that they can afford her relatively modest salary going forward.

I mean, usually it’s the opposite. All the old white dudes getting by on their connections and staying in the league forever, that’s more likely. As for a supposed diversity hire, when it’s done early on, you actually get the best talent that everyone is overlooking. Was Jackie Robinson a diversity hire? I mean, Becky and Dupree appear to be very good coaches.

Yeah, Pop has pretty exacting standards. He not going to hire you just because you’re a woman. He’s also not going to pass you by because you’re a woman. You have to be qualified.

Crazy. I vote for conservatives and have since I could vote. I’m about fiscal conservatism and can’t stand the far right shit that has destroyed the gop recently.

Being conservative used to be about protecting individuals freedom. Lately it’s about espousing hatred driven by religion and intolerance.

Being conservative or a voting republican doesn’t have to be rooted in liberal hatred or intolerance for social individualism.

Fuck him and fuck those that have raped what used to be a party that defended the very freedom these pieces of shit have taken issue with.

I can't wait for them to hire a transgender. They could sit right next to Pop and scold him about his nails.

He’s not wrong. The bigots in this thread aren’t real conservatives. They’re extremists borderlining on domestic terrorists.

Notice how none of the fucktards in this thread had anything to say pertaining to her career or professionalism. It was straight to trivializing her ability and existence.

Welcome Coach Dupree!! Her knowledge of basketball is surely vast with all her firsthand experience. Her twin babies are beautiful as well!

Terrific. Go find a political forum as you are just as irrational, political and polarizing as most other politically motivated idiots on the Spurs basketball forum.

The pop coaching tree is spectacular. Certainly the greatest of this generation. One could say that about the Bill Walsh coaching tree back in 80s football. Pop does not choose fools to coach.

Name an NBA coach with a greater coaching legacy or league-wide influence. Former Spurs’ players, coaches and FO personnel pepper this entire league. Pop’s influence on the league is unmistakable, but you’re welcome to attempt to dismiss it.

Changing the subject. I’m a big fan of pop. I just don’t think his “coaching tree” is anything to write home about. It’s bud and Udoka who can be seen as successes and Udoka coached one season on an already stacked team

I'd say Pop's tree is better quality and more extensive.

[spurraider21]

Including Kerr as part of pops tree is incredibly gratuitous at best, but outright laughable imo

[tonight...you]

Including Kerr as part of pops tree is incredibly gratuitous at best, but outright laughable imo
He himself says he coaches along the lines of his knowledge from both Pop and Phil so a branch from two trees.
Not laughable, but you go shock jock.

[exstatic]

In your opinion. He did coach with Pop for the USMNT for the Tokyo Olympics.

The only coach I’ve outright rejected that has been said to be tree of pop was Doc Rivers, because he neither played for, or coached under Pop. He was a Spurs player for two years under Bob Hill.

I’m not sure why that’s the case. Kerr himself admitted to regularly reaching out to pop for advice (and kfc), he won two titles under pop, he was pops assistant in the Olympics, even his son works in the spurs film room. It’s pretty natural to include him as part of pops coaching tree, which is why he is included in all the articles that I’ve read discussing pops coaching tree.

[KingKev]

^ Kerr was a player coach in 2003. There is a reason Kerr
had two stints as a Spur. He is a basketball mind even if he is a little bitch sometimes.

[The Truth #6]

I think part of Pop’s basketball tree is not just that he is a great coach and cultivated talent but he actively tries to make connections with other coaches and help people get jobs, whereas most other coaches never gave a shit about that I have to imagine.

you, you are aces.

[John B]

Hopefully, the all-star class for team tank.

On the contrary, despite the record, this group seems to be connecting very well with the group’s development, Sochan one-handed FT which is a revelation plus his PG duties, Branham ballhandling and likewise playing point guard, Keldon/Vassell acting as go-to scorers as they should be, Zollins playing well, Stanley find a home (hopefully). I’m sure all of which had to do with Coaching (on top of the player buying in). Easily with the loses, players start to be careless, not playing D, chucking ill-advised shots, which I don’t really see from our players. So yeah, great job with this ensemble imo.

I wouldn’t call anyone who stood toe to toe with MJ and threw hands in practice a bitch. YMMV.

The story changed over the years to build up jordan. When it first came out phil Jackson allowed Kerr to pull all kinds of rough borderline dirty plays on jordan to level the playing field, jordan got fed up and punched Kerr, Kerr punched back, got in a scuffle and jordan learned to respect Kerr (not to bully him because this white big will fight back and won’t be bullied like others). However, the story somehow changed over the last 15 years ago to jordan wrecking Kerr and some versions even had Kerr crying. Which made no sense because why woul Kerr thrive afterwards and jordan would respect Kerr after that?

It’s same with Jordan’s vertical jump. It used to be 42”, then 44” and now it’s all of a sudden 48”, just so that he can have the highest vertical in nba history. It’s sort of ridiculous.

[SouthernFryd]

Pop relies on assistants to do the coaching for him. Now in his "long hair" days (Malik Rose comment)...His choices for assistants are more politically motivated than coaching ability motivated.

We have sucked for many years now because of it. Even when he's not coaching, Pop is f'ing up the Spurs. But, who knows. Maybe we'll get lucky this time....

My only issue with Parker is her flat out refusal and dismissal of any ideas offered to better the WNBA game by former NBA star players.
