So Brown is leaving?
Could also be replacing BudQuote:

Interesting.
I wouldn't mind them still adding PJ or AJ but it might be good to have a new voice on the staff.
Good hire. He already has familiarity with the Spurs thanks to his appearances in the Wayne Wright-sponsored copyright commercials.Quote:

Good insight into Jim's capabilities in this brief article.
"Boylen’s main duty is working with the Pacers’ big men, and he’s been given some of the credit for helping develop Roy Hibbert into an All-Star. Indiana coach Frank Vogel is extremely complimentary of Boylen.
“He’s been a big-time help,’’ said Vogel. “He and Brian Shaw — adding those two guys to our staff has improved everything we do from a coaching staff standpoint. Honestly, I feel like we have two of the best assistant coaches in the NBA.’’
Vogel also said he believes Boylen has “a future as a head coach’’ in the NBA.
“The day-to-day game plans he gives us on the teams we’re playing, the analysis he gives on our own team and the ways that we can improve — really he’s one of the brightest basketball minds I’ve ever been around,’’ Vogel said.
Nice to see us poaching talent for a change.
Baynes and Splitter if he comes back will spend a lot of time with him I'd assume.
Well, that can be taken 1 of 2 ways.. Spurs are looking for a big man in the draft or they're sticking with Tiago.. I hope its the former rather than the latter.Quote:

So this guy's mission will be to help Tiago grow some balls? :tu
Having Jim Boylen will be beneficial to the Spurs whenever the play the Heat.
Splitter and Baynes.
This. Perhaps the Heat are the biggest reason why Pop and the FO hired Jim Boylan. I still think that the Spurs should try to improve their frontcourt via free agency. Tiago Splitter is soft as fuc* and gets his shots blocked by midgets.Quote:

Holy crap, I totally had them mixed up.Quote:

Maybe he'll have the guts to tell pop not to bench his best player with 28 secs left
How long before Playblair comes in and assures us it's to make Blair a starter again?Quote:

Jim Boylen hiring is official for Spurs. Brett Brown will be considered lead assistant, unless he gets a head coaching job elsewhere.
Now that Brown has bolted too, perhaps Pop should re-hire PJ?
Pop should hire Phil Jackson
job is to work with splitter and hopefully oden

I guarantee PJ is not screwing up being up 5 with 28 to go.Quote:

PJ was smart enough to put Vucevic one of their better free throw shooters in the game and he helped seal the game for them. Why weren't our best free throw shooters in the game at the end of game 6? Leonard was shooting 60% in the playoffs and our game plan was to inbound to him?Quote:

I remember when he was coaching at the University of Utah. Good coach with "Spurs" type attitude and personality. Should be a good fit.

Summer League: Jim Boylen

Loved what he said about Pendegraph. He gave RC the hard sell.
He looks like a child melester tbh
I like his enthusiasm. The guy well end up looking like a genius if Jeff Pedergraph pans out. He will look like a great addition to the coaching if Tiago Splitter improves his offensive game.Quote:

I hope everything works out fine. .
