With Brett Brown officially gone, who will the Spurs hire to replace him?

[dallasmaverickslose]

Damn. We've already lost Bud, and now we lose Brett. Best of luck to both of them, I think they'll make great head coaches.

Sadly for us Spurs fans, our coaching situation is a little thin. From what I can see, there's suddenly a lot less experience.

With that being said, what route to you think the Spurs go in replacing Brown? Do we branch out and sign somebody with no ties to the team, or do we reach out to somebody we're all familiar with?

Just a hunch personally, but I could see us trying to get back Don Newman, who left a season or two ago to be a higher ranking assistant in Washington.

What do you think?

[TXstbobcat]

I hope the spurs are reaching out to PJ for a possible return to the spurs.

[DesignatedT]

Doubt it's anyone who has been here before. My guess is more new blood.

[McGusto55]

Hubie brown...haha...naw but forreal.....hubie brown

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Avery Johnson

[Bruno]

Bud and Brown may have already been replaced by Boylen and Udoka.

[spurs1990]

Just saw espn first take discuss Brett Brown and then footage of Chip Engelland talking with Tony Parker is played.

Do they not have google search over there? Imbeciles.

[Budkin]

PJ or AJ hopefully

[JR3]

I would be shocked to see AJ. I would NOT be shocket to see PJ.

[xmas1997]

Oberto

[ducks]

ducks

[purist]

yeah someone from this message board, i'm sure.

[spurraider21]

i really hope its not PJ or AJ. both would be very uninspired hires.

[Dverde]

We won a le with PJ as the head assistant. Maybe PJ talks Pop out of taking TD out in game 6. Such a stupid move.

Bud and Brown may have already been replaced by Boylen and Udoka.

?? Udoka was already here.

My guess is Oberto.

[Steve-O-Matic]

I'd nominate Orlando Antigua, lead assistant at the U. of Kentucky.

[Man In Black]

I'd prefer Bill Self

[Dverde]

Oberto has no business being an assistant coach in the NBA. If you are going the former player route I would go with Bruce Bowen or Michael Finley.

[Libri]

Coach Bonner

Oberto has no business being an assistant coach in the NBA. If you are going the former player route I would go with Bruce Bowen or Michael Finley.

I'm sure Pop doesn't give two s what you want, and will do what he wants, and that's strongly rumored to be Oberto. Bowen has a cushy TV gig with ESPN he probably won't want to leave for assistant pay, and I don't think Finley is in Pop's good graces after bailing on the Spurs to go to Boston his final season.

[ata]

I'd like to see Bowen

[DrunkTXLabrat]

bowen would be great for kawhis development

[Humberto]

Hard Rick

[xmas1997]

Bowen would make a fantastic coach, but I do not think he has any desire to do so.

[barakz21]

I think Bowen would do good as a coach, in terms of X and Os. But I would prefer him to be a Chad Forcier type of coach, on the Defensive side of things. Oberto, I don't think he's gonna got the job as a lead assistant, but he's very likely to get on the staff due to his bball IQ, similar to Udoka and Vaughn. Not sure about Boylen's capabilties as an X and Os guy, but I think he'll do okay.
