Every time I see Mitch I think of Forbes.
Oh , he graduated from Stanford? Multi-championship run coming up. Don't tell me he graduated from the Wharton School of Business too, that's guaranteed success

Holy circular logic.
If you're the only one in a thread making a point that no one else understands it in the way you do then it's not the people having problems reading your point its you having a problem communicating it.
Among all active NBA head coaches, only Quin Snyder (BA, MBA, and JD, all from Duke) has a more impressive educational background. If you're an HR officer and you're looking to hire with someone with high potential who can grow into the position, there aren't many better options than Johnson.
I don't know if Mitch is a going to be a great coach for us but hiring from within is a great strategy as we have seen with OKC, BOS and MIA. Pop coaching prospects he developed from the ground up are known head coaches so far in Ime, Hardy and Becky. There is really nothing pointing to it as a bad move so far. So a meltdown is unwarranted.
some of you just like to and moan before things are even played out. it's what you did when we traded dillingham and people kept saying stuff like "castle willl suck, we should have gotten Reed." it's one thing to be disappointed that they didn't pursue other options, I kinda am. but you have idiots saying things like "the spurs will not make the playoffs again", "wemby will leave", " and its always form the same band of morons.
youre acting like the spurs didn't improve by 12 wins from last year and also started making progress when both wemby and fox were shut down. and don't bring up that teams were mailing it in already, the spurs were also suppose to be tanking and people here get ing that they were getting late season wins because maybe just maybe they might eventually figure things out.
they come back next year with fox for a full season, improved castle, and hoping vassell will stay healthy if they keep him, and some other upgrades through the draft and free agency and you can believe they will be better. the west is tough but we're not ruining our chances already because we decided to keep Mitch.
all this is useless anyway if wemby isn't healthy.
Big mitch taking us to the promise land
Is Mitch finally going to ask his team to box out? To take charges? He didn’t this year. There is no evidence he holds his players accountable for anything.some of you just like to and moan before things are even played out. it's what you did when we traded dillingham and people kept saying stuff like "castle willl suck, we should have gotten Reed." it's one thing to be disappointed that they didn't pursue other options, I kinda am. but you have idiots saying things like "the spurs will not make the playoffs again", "wemby will leave", " and its always form the same band of morons.

There was a slight improvement almost entirely due to the fact that the spurs replaced bottom level talent with Barnes and Paul. Their play, however, absolutely did not look better.
I've been on Team Mitch tbh lol probably the only person on here.... so congrats. I think you guys are underselling him. Give young dude a chance. A real chance.
he's the opposite of a good coach, instead of hard but fair, he's nice and unfair.. the worst combo
Wemby said he wanted to play for Pop, so i think if this fails, even if pop is controling mitch. Wemby will be gone!
maybe because there is no point in paying a high tuition to get the same level of education or worse, than you can find on youtube.. getting 3 years of education to learn the food pyramid for a couple hundred grand, sound foolish.
Why? he has done some of the worst coaching jobs of anyone in the last decade. Just to name a few:
- start by ditching 5 young players for no reason (resulting in his team always fizzling out)
- force feed tre jones only to trade him five minutes later
- play with no center then sign bismack, start him, then ditch him
- play sochan center
- force castle to up to 30% usage rate instead of focusing on creating an offensive scheme
.. so many more
Like those were his choices.
He can now coach without poop telling him what to do from behind the scenes. (hopefully)
Goddamn you guys are s lol give him a chance.
If you can't tell your team to get back on defense, box out for rebounds, or stop sagging off the three point shooter in the corner, you're gonna have a bad time coaching in the NBA.
Told yall...pop in never gonna fire or demote or trade anyone he sees as spurs family...wembys growth and career is ed ....I predict after this season, there will be talks around the league of wemby being soft and overrated....this dude can't coach nor develop players for
Not sure the issue here, the agenda this year was to let the young guys learn to play together. Guys like sochan and keldon become pretty good in their roles. Castle won rookie of the year. Wemby was trending up before clot. This team was legitimately the worse team in the NBA to get Wemby.
As usual, I think people are way overestimating the talent on this roster. Without Wemby, they're the worse defensive team in the league. When you're whole system is built around wemby, things will get funky without him but that has less to do with scheme and just overall lack of talent.
This was still a rebuilding team that was positive and compe ive throughout the year. That's literally the most you can ask for from a rebuilding team.
Mitch did fine. I agree with the challenge and timeout criticisms. He has to work on that, but that's easy as heck to call from the couch. It'll come with experience.
Mitch answered a few questions this year impressively tbh when it came to critiquing wemby and calling him out on some things.
Mitch is a very smart basketball player. He made it to thr big stage not on talent, but his knowledge and compe ive drive. He knows what the vision is for Wemby and is familiar with the system. He should have been the leading candidate the whole time so there wasn't really a big reason to look at these other guys with them still in a rebuild mode, which they are whether people like it or not. There's three legit talents on the team. Everyone else is developing or fringe role player.
Mitch kept them compe ive and positive together. Not sure what else big picture wise you could have wanted. He has your superstars approval. The available coaches lost their superstars approval last time I checked.
He legit did as good as he could with what he had. This years team ain't winning 10 more games if they had one of the available head coaches. Noones making up for the lack of talent on the roster.
They have an experimental time period with wemby developing the next couple years. Might as well have someone who understands what they're trying to do with Wemby instead of someone new coming in and throwing it off. The best thing for Wemby is absolutely continuity. It's not even a debate there. Mitch offers the most.
Mitch is the Bryn Forbes of coaches.
I think Mitch is going to prove a lot of people wrong.
A lot of people thought Ime was too young.
I mean, Mitch can't poop's wife. So that's already a plus.
WAR MITCH!
Fox, Castle, Vassell, Sochan, and Wemby.
With some actual direction. That's a playoff team as it is.
if those weren't his choices last season what makes you think he's making them now with Pop still being president? A press release? You sniffers come up with all kind of fantasy takes
With how predictable this franchise is, I assume the new assistant coach will be the video guy who coached our summer league team last season.
Fair point.
The fact that poop made the decision to "step down" even though it's kind of up gives me some hope that he'll let Mitch coach.
At this point it's up to Mitch. He's being handed a team with maybe not one but two generational talents. Even Doc Rivers could coach this team to 45 wins or more next year.
