A health issue could be anything, and they only listed two definite games that he’ll miss. If it were like a stroke, they would have said Mitch was coaching the rest of the year.

I mean, the worry is that it's more serious than "season ender" tbh.

Considering the old man has been the face of the organization since Timmy retired, I think they'd be a little more sensitive than that if it was something significant. They're not just going to go "Oh btw - Pop had a stroke, Mitch is the coach for the rest of the season" two days after the fact tbh.

Mitch has been coaching games that Pop hasn’t last year and this. That at least puts him ahaead of Brett Brown.

He missed the game Saturday, and they waited 2 days to do this. If it were something super serious, I don’t think they’d announce exactly what it was, but there’s no reason not to say he’s done for the season if in fact he’s done for the season.

Dudes 80, it's impossible to avoid health issues. Its time to retire pop, go hang out in Paris, Italy or Turkey and relax, sure you can stay on as an "advisor", but take it easy.

Hoping for the best for Pop. He certainly seemed robust, fiery and healthy at the Utah game.
I bet he's back by next week.

I always figured he'll retire on his terms, this is probably just a minor setback.

Good news if true. I personally would be sad the day that Pop retires, and given what he’s done for the franchise I think he’s earned the right to leave whenever he wants to. I sincerely hope he gets to do just that, on his own terms.

There was some buzz last summer that this was his farewell non-tour. He would never announce his retirement in advance, officially. Tim just walked away. Manu finished a season, and during the next training camp did a Nope to the next season. The tour isn’t really a Spurs thing, for the most part. I think DRob announced before his season, but I can’t remember any other major player doing so.

i know it's hard for ST to not speculate but a "health issue" can be so many thing. yes, it sounds scarier when it's a 75 year old but we're talking about a domain that can include anything from a cardiological event to a kidney stone passing, or a UTI. i just hope it's benign and he's back on his feet in due time. retirement speculation and all that other stuff will always be there because of his age.

Early game vs. the Wolves, the broadcast said Pop was feeling under the weather.

I'm really feeling some kind of bad flu or virus that is hitting him hard due to his age. They're just letting him rest up and don't know precisely when he'll come back.

At 80 there's no telling what it could possibly be. I truly do love Pop. There's a breakfast taco joint here in DC that has his picture up because he's so beloved by people from back home. But I also want people of retirment age to step aside and give younger generations a chance and in that regard Pop is no different. There's more to life than working until your 80. ENJOY IT! A dream job is still a job.

Haha, yeah I forgot about that. Devin was injured (shocker, I know) and people were suspecting he was somehow involved in whatever Primo was caught up in and that’s why he was being held out. Little did we know at the time that Devin is just made of fine pewter and is very fragile.

Trump is fully coherent and the same person he was 10 years ago whether you like him, his policies, tactics or shenanigans. Biden served his country to a point he was genuinely slipping and needed to step down.

Not even close Biden can barely walk and can barely read the prompter when he gives speeches and you can tell he has early dementia. It is kind of sad how his wife used him but you can tell all the stress is making his symptoms way worse then it would if he was retired.

As far as Pop hope he comes back soon healthy and is able to end the year on a positive note.

I mean saying 75 instead of 80 doesn't materially change the argument that people of his age need to not be working. This is honestly an issue with their generation that we see all over the place. People need to retire and give other generations a chance at those jobs. Sure, not that big of a deal for an NBA coach but its the same shit we see in many fields where people just refuse to give up their positions and se damn sure see it in our goverment leadership. I don't see the point at all. I love my job but youll never catch me doing it that late into life because there are so many other things out there to do.

Whatever. If you can't out do an 80 year old that on YOU! There's plenty of work out there to advance your career IF you are good enough than the next man. Not sure how old you are but the "many other things" you talk about are likely unsustainable or unreachable without money so easier said than done.

Anyway unlike his dumbass opinion, people don’t want Pop to be seriously ill. We forget Pop is near 80. I hope he takes it easy for his sake. All that traveling and stress over coaching can do a number on you. Get well soon, Pop!

Unfortunately for men like Pop (probably most people that have super long careers), their craft is all they know. They retire and then they die. Seen that happen too many times over the years.

Ehh, my Dad's 90 now. He's definitely slipped some in the last five years, but at 75, he was still pretty damn sharp, and had the energy to do a lot of stuff. Not so much now, taking it a lot easier, napping more, forgetting more stuff. There's a big difference between 75 and 90...

Typically NBA coaches get passed over for youth after a while and you see older former head coaches relegated to assistant coach positions to mentor a former player with little coaching experience. To me, that Pop still has his job at his age is the exception to the norm. He's mellowed and is more Grandpop than Pop, but hasn't lost much mentally as far as I can tell. I think he could delegate more but his presence still helps, like landing CP3. Anyway. Hopefully nothing serious with his health.

Local guys, the ones who aren't clueless, would absolutely do a cover up to protect the Spurs interests. Being first with any big news story on this does nothing but hurt their careers in SA. They don't want to get on the Spurs bad side, so at most you'll get cryptic nonsense like, "Nothing too serious guys. But, golly gee, this sort of feels different.

Can't move her left arm above the shoulder and stuff like that. Stuff that's manageable in daily life, but would obviously impact one's ability to coach a basketball team.

It would be cool for the Spurs to have enough respect for their fans to at least address the situation in some way. I get it, Pop and the Spurs want privacy. But leaving everyone the dark is rather disrespectful to those who love the team and genuinely care about Pop (even without having ever met him).

Even a vague, not really insightful, light hearted statement like this would be better than nothing:

"Coach Pop continues to get some rest and focus on his health. We do not know when he will return to the bench but he is watching every game and sending notes to Mitch and has even suggested the team run some lines at practice to account for silly turnovers in the last minute of last night's victory versus Portland"

Trump on Monday before the election did 4 rallies average rally speech 4 hours. The last one started at midnight and went to 2 am. Not bad for a 78 year old.
His age is not the issue the issue is his health. No he will not coach 3 more nba finals because hopefully the spur front office will grow a pair of balls and fire him over his Heath. Can not do the job you quit or you ge Fired!

What about my fake statement goes against keeping things in house? My fake statement says nothing that isn't already known while at least acknowledging that the teams fans even exist. Spurs fans really care about the Spurs and idolize Pop. For all the support the city and fanbase gives the team, it seems like they should at least address the situation casually, instead of the typical move where they just treat us like peons unworthy of their nobility.

Because he is smart. There is a reason why college educated vote democrat and uneducated vote republican. He proves that you can have a military background, be a motherf..er hard@ss and still vote correctly. I hope that he feels better, we can criticize some of his BB choices but his coach resume is one of the best and his politics just shows that he cares about people.

I’m sure pop through the years has maintained fiscal conservatism or respect for a smoothly flowing economy. But you don’t coach for 30 or so years and not see how society is stacked against minorities or how a system made up of the wealthy exploits people while morons like you defend against your own best interests.

Pop has had a front row seat from both sides of cultures and economic hardships you still can’t comprehend.

It would be nearly impossible to coach that many young black men that come from tough upbringings or economic strife and not come out with a clear understanding that this country lacks humanity and mostly at the hands of the wealthy.

I don’t think criticizing the characters of Trump, Ted Cruz or Abbott as Liberal. I believe Pop likes the human nature and how he conducts himself. He had high praises for H.W. Bush when he recalled the former president visiting San Antonio in 1992 and spending day with the Spurs, as a classy President. Pop is not scared to speak his mind, and has no patience for “stupid questions.” The Spurs owe a lot to Timmy as the greatest Spur, but I doubt the Spurs would be even close to successful without the watchful eyes of Coach Pop who sheltered his players and not allowed drama to tear the team apart, much like his view of policies and politicians. I don’t call that Liberal.

He has mentored a lot of young men, even beyond basketball. Over the years we always hear players talk about their relationship with him long after they've moved on from the organization.

Not the Diddy-type :lol. But yeah, because they experienced Pop as more than a coach but a person who cares. Demar is very vocal about his admiration for Pop for understanding his situation to go home to take care of his ailing father. A lot of people criticizes Pop for his outspoken politics. But to me it’s Pop genuinely care without pretense. He’s not running for office or trying to make a name for himself. He’s arguably the goat. But it’s him not taking it sitting down if he can help it, and he took those opportunities on his interviews, rather than answering “stupid questions” on whatever game adjustments he’ll make just so the other team can benefit. The guy studied military intelligence and tactical covert operations for Pete’s sake :lol:lol

Actually the American university's agenda is to brain wash our youth and push their agenda. You're persecuted for being conservative and silenced if you speak about faith.

I guess that you swallowed the conservative red pill. Do you have more woke people at universities, yes. Do teachers teach wokism, no. Just because Fauxnews and other conservative fake medias say so doesn't mean that this is true.

People expressing their faith are persecuted? I've never seen people chasing religious people on campus and I was at Berkeley, CA. But throughout history, we can say that religious people have/are persecuting others.

The right wing wins by repeating lies that people start to believe: crime is up, immigrants are all rapists...As I said uneducated tend to vote republican, they are easier to manipulate.
