That would suck
@WojYahooNBA: Y! Sources: San Antonio assistant Mike Budenholzer has emerged as a candidate for Detroit's head coaching job. http://t.co/0kTlOAR1hG
That would suck
I hope not
lets hope not
Doubt it. Not saying he wouldn't bolt for a head coaching job at the right organization...but the Pistons?
He knows he gets the keys when Pop leaves, just a matter of time.
The obvious POP replacement but does he stay until POP retires?
Is this based on Colonel Sanders/Phil Jackson's recommendation? The bas .
Why are you guys saying I hope not? While it was be 'bad' for the Spurs, the man deserves a chance to be a head coach in this league and I would be very happy for him if he gets the opportunity.
Probably because it's been said that Pop is going to retire when TD retires which isn't that faraway from now.
Truth. Bud's time might not be so far away, plus Pop needs a sabbatical soon after this next ring.
Also, Phil is helping Detroit pick their next coach. Phil just trying to tear the Spurs apart.
Unless something unexpected happens, Tim will play at least two more years, so does Pop. So even if he's presumed to succeed after that, it's still better for him to get some real experience before that. Plus, here we are all Spurs fans and we are biased toward the Spurs. But objectively, when Tim retires in 2 years, Tony will be 33 by then, do you think the Spurs' coaching position is that attractive?
As a Spurs fan, we love to have him waiting for chance. But from Coach B's perspective, it's better to look else where when the Spurs are still deemed as model team among NBA. Plus, AJ will always be another potential choice after Pop leaves.
I hope not. Didn't he turn down the head coaching job for Houston last offseason? Would've been a better situation than Detroit is now.
This. He'd be a fool to leave for the Pistons HC position imo when he can have this one in 2-3 years. Wouldn't have to uproot his family either.
If Coach Bud is ever a serious candidate for a position (e.g.- top 2 or his choice whether to take it), I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Spurs made him the "head coach in waiting" and more-or-less finalized that Pop will retire when Tim does.
You want Avery Johnson coaching the spurs?
Agree with most of this. However, going to a place like the Pistons could be career suicide. That team is locked in the cellar with little hope of getting out soon. If Bud goes there and isn't able to bust them out in one or two seasons, then he'd get fired and be regarded as just another coach who couldn't cut it.
I know it's extremely difficult for a first time coach to end up with a good team, but it's a possibility worth waiting for. Look at Pop...he lucked into getting a team with David and Tim, and is going to be a first ballot hall of famer. Compare that to, say...Vaughn, who may get ousted in Orlando if the team can't get it's together, and remains to be seen if he'll get a second chance.
There goes his perfect coaching record.
If he wants to keep his family stable, sure it's better to stay in SA. But from the career perspective, it would not be wise to not look at other opportunities if teams are interested. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
these rumors have popped up every summer the past 2 years and hes stated hes happy where hes at
i have no doubt though that teams are salivating at the chance to get him
and if he does decide to coach somewhere else be a great coach
Working on getting a job and assisting Pop in the playoffs. Busy man Bud must be these days lol
He's been living here for years, the players and organization respect him, he knows the system, he's pretty much guaranteed the head position once Pop retires. Bud has it good here, doesn't have to deal with immature players like SAC, has a great GM and scouts to get him quality players, etc.
I can see why he'd turn other down deals, even if he does fail the first2 seasons I doubt SA would fire him like some do to their head coaches...
that'd suck
Bud is probably guaranteed the HC job when Pop goes. He might only have to wait one more year depending on Duncan. And to be honest, Bud would pretty much be the frontrunner for any vacant HC job so the larger the market, the more money he'll make. No one wants to live in Detroit, it'll take Brooklyn or Los Angeles (both LA teams might have vacancies soon) to lure him away.
It'd be a dumb move by Bud tbh. They've got a nice frontcourt with Monroe/Drummond but ultimately an uphill task that'll probably result in him being fired in 2 or 3 seasons anyways.
Also, he'd have to live in Detroit.
They're talking about it here in Michigan. Apparently Dumars is in SA. They're also meeting with Sampson of Houston. Would suck but Bud deserves a shot.
