    why not? he pretty much allowed that when he went to work for coach K and Colangelo.

    Monty's life story is legit sad, and I don't hate the person at all.

    But much like Mike Brown, they were generally terrible coaches (with top talent). Peeps hate on Messina, but at least the guy brought a completely different perspective and had a fairly successful career as a coach.

    These guys, on the other hand, feel like they're just getting a job so they don't disappear into oblivion.
    He didn't try at all as a player. He was just there to collect a paycheck and watch games. He seems like a really nice guy, but I haven't seen any evidence that his coaching career is any different from his playing career.

    although i agree with your sentiment - I find it ironic that you partake in what makes this possible... internet, social media, posting on a forum thinking that your voice/opinion means anything.....
    All of our opinions and voices mean something man, so that part I disagree with. You mean will it change things or the way it is or world? No it will not, but we have the free right to voice what we believe on the boards and that is what makes this a great place to post. I do partake on the internet, that part is very true so I am guilty of things too.
    Can we please use this thread to celebrate Monty Williams, the man, his career, and his joining the Spurs organization instead of dragging politics into it? Also, Republicans are stupid.
    I agree fully and then you throw in the last part to keep it up though. I am not Republican btw., but neither party really interests me and both have their major flaws but that is a different subject.


    Monty was a great hire.

    Stein posted a more complete article yesterday. The highlights:

    Sources told ESPN that Williams -- who left the Oklahoma City Thunder's bench in February after the tragic death of his wife, Ingrid -- has been urged by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to take as much of a role with the organization as he feels comfortable for the 2016-17 campaign.

    The specifics of what role Williams would fill and how much time he could commit have not yet been determined, but sources say San Antonio has opened the door to either a coaching and player-development role or a front-office position (or a hybrid), depending on what he prefers.

    Williams' in-laws live in San Antonio and have been assisting him with the couple's five children in the wake of Ingrid Williams' death after a Feb. 9 collision in which a car crossed over onto the wrong side of the road and struck her vehicle head-on.

    I wonder if he decided to leave Okc because the bad memories about his wife who dieded or because of Durant?
    Because he had 5 kids and a life to care more about. His inlaws are in SA and he needs some family support that doesn't require long distance travelling with 5 kids. It's got to be a tough gig. I feel for him.

    It's not all about accomplishments. There are a lot of unaccomplished coaches. I'll take a good one over an asshole.

    Thanks. Could be just one incident but doesn't look good.

    Man, it just seems like Westbrook doesn't taking coaching. Pop would have his work cut out for him.

    Doubt he liked Donovan. That whole I'm taking the year off thing to grieve never washed, tbh. Not saying he wasn't in deep grief; but work would've been a good outlet. He saw an excuse to get away from Donovan. If it had been Pop, he'd have been back after a month or less.

    Nice to have another experienced coach on the bench. Pop probably just doing this as a favor to Monty though so he can gradually transition back to another coaching position. Probably won't be here long term.

    This is the realist post in here, LOL politicians and parties and all that bull . Politics, pile of tricks... The world is duped by this nonsense and still buys in to it and the media etc., It's really laughable man. People are just ing idiots I guess or just asleep.
    The system relies first and foremost upon participation. Without it, youre right, it becomes flawed, even twisted and fraudulent. If youre not voting, youre actually playing into the hands of both parties, who usually want to suppress as many voters as possible so they can keep the status quo with as little effort as possible.

    Moral of the story is vote and be heard.

    Of course this doesnt apply to the presidential election due to the INCREDIBLY outdated electoral college taking precedent over the popular vote.

    Seeing that Williams' in-laws are here in SA and he probably needs some support in raising five kids while in ANY basketball job that requires traveling, I think you might put this hire in the category of more FO and Pop "Good Works". It sounds like they made a place for him and are going to let him work out his actual duties so as to make his mourning period about his wife a little easier. I doubt this aspect of the hire will get much publicity--and Pop would never take credit for it--but I bet other players and coaches around the league are taking notice that the Spurs are about more than being a premier basketball team.

    We have more reasons than championships to be very proud of the Spurs and the way they represent the city.

    It would be an absolute shock to me if Pop doesn't use Monty to work with the defense in some way.
