If RC isn't spending the ASB negotiating Becky's buyout and contract, then wtf is he doing?
Does the Spurs organization follow Spurstalk? You’d figure at least some of them would. Maybe keep bumping this thread until we hire a good coach and staff….

The concern I have is that Peter J. Holt might be just another milquetoast failson who will dither and not take action until Wemby is halfway out the door.
We’ll find out this offseason. If the Spurs have a new president and a new experienced head coach, then maybe they can make something of the Wemby years. If Pop is back, or if they just take the “acting” label off Mitch, then might as well check out as fans.
KOC's criticism has been pretty pointed as of late, but also pretty spot on.
They have a head coach is very competent growing gray hair sitting in a chair that they refuse to pay so Mitch coaches…why is this dude still allowed to make topics?
Which coach are you referring to that they refuse to pay?
Guys, this is out of topic but I wanted to ask
Could the triangle offense be suitable for Wemby and company??
Not even if it was 1990.
I think this is right. I am really terrified of them keeping Johnson.
What makes Becky any less of a yes man to Pop than Mitch? Almost feel like it's Hurley or bust.
In the (all too likely) event that we do keep Mitch (which I'm very much against), then I sure hope it at least comes with the hiring of the deepest bench of assistants ever seen. Keeping Mitch without any help behind him would immediately evaporate any good will Brian has earned from his wheeling and dealing. Ugh, I shudder to even think about it.
She might be, but I get a sense that she's a pretty proud and independent person who wouldn't accept the job if it just meant carrying out Pop's wishes as he plays Shadow Head Coach.
I'd be interested in Hurley, but I don't think he's the end-all-be-all savior he's made out to be either. His sideline antics and gimmicks aren't likely to fly in the NBA. He's just a couple steps shy of that NCAAW LSU coach, Kim Mulkey... probably a very fine coach, but has the benefit of recruiting for a top program and is kind of a circus on the sidelines.
To be clear, I'd be game for Hurley, but it's a risk as well.
Does MEM, OKC, BOS or CLE have some hot stuff assistants we can poach like teams used to do of us? I'd be mostly game for that kind of move.
Triangle offense is called the triple post. Victor has zero post game. He has very little face-up game. To get back on topic, the coaches on this team can't even coach Victor to hold the ball above his head before pivoting, and have not run the two-man game with Victor and CP3, Victor and Castle, or Victor and Fox.
The only reason the triple post might be an improvement is because it would require a whole new coaching staff.
I don't want anybody with ties to the organization unless it's Udoka, Hardy or Taylor Jenkins tbh.
Becky is not a serious candidate for an organization that should be looking to contend within the next few years, I'm sorry.
I've already given up on making the play-in this year so I really just want to see a few things before this season ends:
-Castle getting 25+ minutes each game
-Fox/Wemby/Castle getting as much run as possible to see if they have something to build upon
-Devin getting ample opportunity to turn his season around so the org has a clear picture on what to do with him in the offseason
I legit don't really care about anything else that much tbh
I don't really trust Pop's coaching tree to not try to be him. Which would have been fine if we meant 2003 Pop or 2013 Pop but not mellow 2024 Pop. I believe Victor when he said he wanted to be coached hard. He wants to be the GOAT and I think he believed he was getting the Pop who wasn't scared to yell at Tim Duncan, not the actual one who got scared off from being a hard ass after Aldridge's trade request.
I hear ya, and I guess the only thing I'd defend Becky on is that she appears to be kind of a hardass in Vegas, and she left before Pop went into total baby softie mode
Spurs got cute, and decided to promote someone who wasn't ready. Does Mitch still have the locker room?
I don't see what's "cute" about it. The head coach had a stroke 2 weeks into the season. What can you do other than promote the head assistant and hope for the best?
Blame the Spurs for not having better assistants, sure. Blame them for not being able to do a full-blown coaching search after the season already started? Makes no sense.
the only one you can blame is the old man who's willing to die on the sidelines instead of letting somebody else take over. Should've just handed the reigns to Udoka years ago.
Our next head coach will be crucial. This has to be a guy who can build a long term relationship with Wemby and Castle, just like Pop did with the big 3. It has to be an elite coach who's under 60 if not under 50 years old. He has to establish a winning system and get rid of all the losers in this organization. This coaching staff hasn't won and should not have that kind of job security, while not showing any results.

Someone mentioned Steve Kerr…. Oh No! I’m still waiting for Mitch to pull Wemby when he F’s up….. so no to Mitch. Get Fox his surgery now & then finish the tank w/CP coaching on the floor and maybe get him as head coach if he’s interested. He’d bench Wemby in a heartbeat if he F’ed up.
I wanted budenholzer for years ! Him and udoka could of been had but pop couldn't let go
With the way the season is going for the Suns if they miss the playoffs he may be fired and likely available unless they can turn it around. I like Mitch but this team should have a better record now than they do. Starting to miss Pop but he needs to retire now after the stroke.
I'm here waiting for some Spurstalk hero (@scott hopefully?) to come up with a deep dive post analyzing the current coaches for the 30 teams and the likelihood that they'll be fired this off-season based on each team's pre-season expectations VS how their season is playing out.......
Becky ain't coming to save us tbh. And I'm not sure that I want to go with an unknown, rookie first-time head coach for such a delicate and important position. But who is realistically going to become available in this very off-season? Spurs can't afford to delay the search for another season; next year looks to be very important for the team's development.
It is maybe the team's most important question to answer this off-season.
