Mike Budenholzer next suns coach?

[stxspurs]

on Dan Patrick a reporter from phx said kerr was looking at a number of replacements for D'antoni. Mike B. was included in the mix. Damn ex-spurs trying to steal all our coaches:ihit

[urunobili]

if PJ comes back i don;t mind losing him....

[timvp]

Bud is Pop's right hand man. That'd suck :td

[urunobili]

Bud is Pop's right hand man. That'd suck :td

it seems the only way the league wants us to go down is stealing all the personnel! lol:hat

[dmac]

CIA Pop will have his people all of the the Western Conference before its all over!
Then we infiltrate the Eastern Bloc!!

[Ocotillo]

Kelvin Sampson to replace Coach Bud should he leave.....

[101A]

Mike B out, Avery in?

[Mitch Cumsteen]

No way is Bud ready to be an NBA head coach. He'd probably be the first to tell you that.

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/05/02/kelvin-sampson-hired-by-bucks/

He has already been hired by the Bucks as an assistant for next year. Of course, we can steal him, but he is waiting around for a job anymore.

[G-Nob]

He may not want it yet. I fully expect a Phx run at Avery before Bud. Bud would be a coup in understanding everything we currently do. If he leaves, I guarantee Sampson moves into an asst role and Coach Don will be the top asst.

[T Park]

If Bud leaves, that would be a pretty significant blow.

One that, honestly, I dunno if Pop could find someone to replace. He trusts Budenholzer pretty hardcore.

[ducks]

steve kerr does not want avery

[timvp]

No way is Bud ready to be an NBA head coach. He'd probably be the first to tell you that.Actually, Bud has been angling for a head coaching job recently. It was reported that Pop originally thought about making Don Newman his lead assistant ... but after further "contemplating" Pop decided on Bud.

Bud is vastly underrated in the Spurs organization. On the championship winning defensive stand in 1999, he drew up the exact play that the Knicks ended up running during that timeout. During games, Bud has more involvement and has more say than any assistant who has come through the organization ... even back when more experienced coaches such as PJ were on the sidelines.

But yeah, I once thought Bud would be happy working next to Pop until Pop left. I now get the feeling that Bud actually aims to get a head coaching job soon.

[xtremesteven33]

i hope not. you think avery johnson knows the spurs. geesh. imagine this guy coaching a western conference team.

[T Park]

Yeah, hopefully Pop could tell him, I want whats best for you, but I'd love it if you stayed here. Give him a raise, something.

Budenholzer leaving would be horrible.

[T Park]

He may not want it yet. I fully expect a Phx run at Avery before Bud. Bud would be a coup in understanding everything we currently do. If he leaves, I guarantee Sampson moves into an asst role and Coach Don will be the top asst.


That would be tough as Kelvin Sampson is currently an assistant in Milwaukee.

[T Park]

It was reported that Pop originally thought about making Don Newman his lead assistant

I think the contemplating was after watching summer league and how poorly that team was run...

[Budkin]

Shit! NOOOOO!

[whottt]

No way is Bud ready to be an NBA head coach. He'd probably be the first to tell you that.

He's been an assistant with the Spurs for 12-15 years now...exactly when do you think he'll be ready?

[whottt]

Budenholzer deserves better than the fate he will have with the rapidly declining Suns....Phoenix is 1 year away from rebuilding.

[NRHector]

He could be the next Spurs coach after Pop retires

[stxspurs]

thats what i ws thinking

[Budkin]

Don't go Bud!

[objective]

the reasons Budenholzer is a legit candidate and Avery Johnson isn't is simple.

$$$$$

Sarver doesn't want to pay, and Avery would command at least 3 million if not 4+ a year.

A first timer in Budenholzer would be very helpful to the Suns bottom line.

[41times]

It's gonna be Avery coaching in Phx and he will implement the Spurs offense there. Would be a good fit for them. Sure couldn't hurt their "playoff success"

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs should just give him a raise and tell him it's your job when Pop steps down. As soon as Duncan retires so will Pop one would think.

[50 cent]

Damn, I really want Bud to take over as Spurs head coach when Pop goes.

[G-Nob]

That would be tough as Kelvin Sampson is currently an assistant in Milwaukee.

Was not yet aware of that. Thank you.

[Que Gee]

Absolutely correct.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Ha ha ha! Another CIA operative getting put in charge. Pop threw the '06 Mavs series to establish AJ's cover and since then? Mavs make two first round exits, Cavs overachieve to get to the finals only to get swept by the Spurs, Phoenix trades for Big Shell of His Former Self, and Seattle spins its wheels for a little while. Look for the Suns to deal as many first round picks as possible (if they have any left), have Coach Bud run the team straight into the ground, and watch the fans gouging their eyes out with sporks as those lottery picks go to other teams.

[MoSpur]

It wouldn't surprise me. I think it would be good for him and bad for us. I can see AJ coming to SA for an asst job.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

He needs to stay. He's a very underrated asst. coach that can easily make the leap to head coach, IMO.

[SequSpur]

wgaf.. you guys don't realize that all these knuckleheads would be homeless without tim duncan...

[SPARKY]

I'd rather Phoenix not end up with Mike Bud or AJ.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bud or AJ in Phoenix would suck for SA.

[stxspurs]

AJ in phx wouldnt matter much imo

[spurscenter]

Love Me Some Bud
