When Pop steps down...who is your choice to replace him?

[SpurCharger]

How About Larry brown? He is Gonna Coach til he is 95 anyways, Lol. I think Avery Johnson, Mike Brown, Or Even Vinny del negro.

[Manu-of-steel]

Budenholzer's the guy

[spursfan1000]

Buldenhozer or PJ.

[PM5K]

Cmon now, that argument can be applied to everyone. People can say Pop only won because he had the best Power Forward to ever play and I think Pop would agree with that. Rudy T only won because he had arguablly the best center in Hakeem to ever play the game...and so on and so forth. It can go on for ever coach.

Your point is moot, Phil Jackson was an assistant coach for the last year and a half of his career, then a head coach in the CBA for about five years, and I believe coached in Puerto Rico or something for a season or two, and was an assistant in the NBA for two years before becoming a head coach, so he had a good ten years coaching experience before he became a head coach.

Pop was an assistant for about six years under Larry Brown and Don Nelson, and essentially hired himself to coach.

Avery has been a player/coach for years.

[ChumpDumper]

At this point I'd say Bud, though Avery would be an inevitability. I don't have the clearest read on Snyder as I think many of his decisions are made for him for the sake of development and scouting. He does seem to have an excellent rapport with the players if nothing else, but the normal chain of succession would have him as an assistant under the next head coach.

Is Doug Moe still around? How about George Gervin?

[sonic21]

Bruce

[LA24]

God.

Sorry, but He's a Laker fan.

[Zzakk's Garage]

Tim Duncan, with Avery as his little general.

[howbouthemspurs]

Lets see, we need some one with an NBA IQ as equivalent as Coach Pop with the flair of Phil Jackson. We need someone that will demand the respect of the entire arena with just his presence. Players should fear him and superstars should be gracious for his leadership..... I think the only person suited to follow in Pop's footsteps is none other than,.....yup you guessed it..........Mengke Bateer!

J/k .. Avery Johnson would be a perfect choice.

[samikeyp]

Pj

[urunobili]

Edie Jordan anyone?
Byron Scott?

[fleggy2k2]

God.

i think pop would like the fact that the dude can turn water to wine.

but the real question is:

sure, he can coach people to defend against the greeks and muslims, but how does his coaching stack up to defending 7-footers?

it doesn't help that the human race was shorter back then. , goliath was probably a half a foot shorter than duncan.

[DaBears]

Vinny Del Negro might be a option. If he can be pulled away from the bulls

[DaBears]

Tim Duncan maybe he can be a player&coach. Like back in the old school days with Orlando...

[superbigtime]

Sean Elliott.

[Dr Cox]

my dark horse is tim duncan, pop has let him coach in games before, what pr would that bring in


haha doubt it would happen but would like to see it!!!

[My Fault]

i wouldn't mind seeing mike brown.

that would be SWEET.
i doubt he'd leave for san antonio, though. unless maybe lebron leaves cleveland.

I have to disagree. After the Orlando series Mike Brown just didn't seem to know left from right. He didn't make any adjustments and was simply out coached by SVG. It was really bad watching that series.

i think we all know its about timing, but i think coaches would line up to be with a world class organization like the spurs

but saying that, if lebron is not on the cavs our chances for mike brown go wayyyy up


i want to see pj, he didnt get a good chance this go round to prove hes worthy, i think he could do it

+1
And 228 correct me if I'm wrong but Timmy has said he'd like to take shot at coaching when he hangs them up. He would be a great coach IMO.

i havnt offically hurd that, but i could see it, and tim duncan coaching anywhere but here just seems too weird, i could see him if not a head coach something like patrick ewing as a low post coach or somthing like that


and for how much of a professional he is, i could see him own part of a team (see mj) or work for david stern

[Jose Ole]

I'm officially starting the "Bring Back Bob" (Hill) campaign! Too bad the guy couldn't file a wrongful termination suit... who expected our team at that point to do anything with D-Rob on the bench and the likes of Will Purdue and Carl Herrera running the show?

[Calavera]

I hope Pop won`t leave along with Duncan, but if he does, Budenholzer should replace him. That would be good move to save the system and the principles of the Spurs. I don`t want any changes of the style and stuff, it will be very different without Tim, but noone is bigger than the team, so they shouldn`t change everything after his departure.

[dbestpro]

Mario Ellie. I would love to see that scowl every time the Spurs got a non call.
