Coach Bud will be missed.
The Atlanta Hawks will be allowed to negotiate a contract with San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Mike Budenholzer during the Spurs’ nine-day break before the beginning of the NBA Finals if Budenholzer is the team’s choice for its next head coach, according to a league source.
Budenholzer has been with the Spurs for 18 years, the last five as Gregg Popovich’s top assistant. He is well regarded around the league and knows Hawks general manager Danny Ferry quite well from Ferry’s days as an executive in San Antonio before being hired last year by Atlanta.

Hope it doesn't happen.

Well crap. That was quick. Good luck to Coach Bud, wish he would've stayed though.

Would be a huge, huge loss
Great! Coach Bud deserves a shot.
Is that the beginning of the end?
Has there been high ranking assistants interviewed by multiple teams and passed up to stay as an assistant?
More like a sign the end might not be as near as we think it is.Is that the beginning of the end?
We need some corporate knowledge to stick around when Tim and Pop retire... I'm hoping bud doesn't leave.
Even more reason for the Spurs to win it all this season.
THAT'S THE SH!T I DON'T LIKE
Damn I'd really really hate to lose Bud, but he's under no obligation to wait two more years for Pop to retire if he can get his head coaching gig now. Not that I think it'd be a good idea for Bud to go to a team that Danny Ferry built; look at how Ferry wrecked Cleveland by using all his assets on big name has-beens like Shaq and Ben Wallace and then he went and overpaid garbage players like Jamario Moon and Anthony Parker.
Why not wait till pop retires? He can take over, it's his already when pop leaves
noooooooo
A good question... does this deserve its own thread?
I'm proud of coach Bud, and want him to be successful and happy, but honestly I don't want to see him go. I truly want him to be Pop's predecessor. Seriously, who is better suited to take the reins when Pop retires?
I hope this doesn't happen. They were going to wait until his 20th anniv. to give it to him.
Danny Ferry is coming back to haunt us. It's almost a done deal. Sucks, I thought he was for sure going to be our next HC.
Good for Bud. I hope he gets the job and I hope he does phenomenally well at it.
I wish the Spurs brought Bruce and Elliott as assistants years ago.
Neither one wanted to be a coach.
And good luck to Coach Bud. The Hawks are getting ready to create a new team. Given his background with Ferry, I'm sure he would get a voice in the process.
He'll be the 4th Pop assistant to become an active head coach after Carlissamo, Mike Brown and Jacque Vaughn. Impressive.
