Enlighten me.
Phil Jackson
Pop pre-2006?
Serious question, do you think coach bud would of pulled duncan in game 6?
phil jackson is out of the league and has made it pretty clear he is not interested in being a head coach. try again.
Gregg Popovich. thread le makes it very clear
serious question, would you rather have Bud be our head coach or Pop
I would rather have Bud.
1 vote for Budenholzer > Pop
any more brilliance we can have on this thread? anybody? SBM and SA210 where you at?
Tim Duncan as player/coach and be done with it. He wouldnt have pulled himself at the end of game 6 and he knows his limits as far as his body is concerned. Pop coddles him and it backfires all the time. Duncan wants to play...not be treated like an 85 year old woman trying to cross a busy street. Pop had to play Duncan heavy in this series and what does Duncan do? 20 and 14 in game 1...30 and 17 in game 6...24 and 12 in game 7. Does that sound like a guy who needs to rest all the time? Pop imposes his will whether it is right or not.

Doc Rivers
Any coach who would not bench his best players in critical moments of a NBA Finals game.
I hate pop as evidence with my previous post.
But Pop is a top 2 coach in the NBA. I'll take no one over pop
Phil Jackson is not coaching, and has made it clear he will not be coaching. might as well name red auerback and john wooden
Phil wouldn't have choked away Game 6 like Pop did, period.
Tally so far:
1 vote for Budenholzer
1 vote for Tim Duncan

20/20 hindsight makes fools out of even Hall of Famers.
Pop has guided and developed this team superbly for 15 years, I stick with him as long as he wants to coach.
Your question was asked and answered - then your popglasses got in the way again.
PJ could always change his mind. Doc Rivers is available.
No, he wouldn't have.
because the spurs would not have been in the finals.
PJ is a nice idea, but i don't think he's a better coach than pop, just more fortunate in his choice of teams.
i vote for any coach that can make players not miss easy shots. that's the coach we needed.
At the end of the day, our achilles heel came back to bite us in the ass. We knew all season that rebounding was our major weakness. And what did pop do to fix it? Nothing. Now I know its not as simple and easy as i might think, but im sure there was some way baynes could of been worked into the rotation.
i'll accept doc as an answer. disagree, but i'll accept. PJ is no longer an NBA coach and has repeatedly expressed his desire to be in some sort of a front office role, not a head coaching gig
If you are asking what coaches could replace Pop... thats a catch 22 question. Pop has been outcoached by Lionel Hollins, then he outcoached Hollins. Pop has also been swept by Alvin Gentry as coach of the Suns. Out coached by Scott Brooks last year and probably again this year if Westbrook doesnt go down. And now outcoached by Eric Spoelstra. So what if someone says Eric Spoelstra? He has the Heat in three straight Finals appearances and it doesnt look like they are going anywhere for awhile. Doc Rivers? Championship pedigree. Lional Hollins? Here is a coach that has arguablly done the most with less. How do you trade a talent like Rudy Gay and get better? How about replacing Pop with a young guy like Vogel? Defensive minded and again..a guy who can get the most of his players. You can make an argument for quite a few of them. you gotta remember...Pop really hasnt won anything since 2007 and Duncan in his prime.

i really asked a simple question. can you name current, active coaches you would prefer to have coaching the Spurs right now to Pop?
Really nobody...
I just wish he would have had a better game 6..
I would take Tom Thibodeau in a heartbeat over Pop right now. What he has done with the Bulls is nothing short of coaching at its finest. How does that team lose its MVP and then basically half its team in the playoffs and still get to the 2nd round and challenge the Heat? I'd take Thibs...so cast me for that vote...and he a defensive minded MFer.
No one, we have the best coach in the league.
