I want nothing to do with Avery Johnson on our bench. He's a martinet, and inevitably alienates his teams. He learned almost nothing from Pop about respect and dialogue with your players.
Avery will never be in an authority position on the Spurs as long as Duncan is on the team.

Does anyone think POP and "The Little General "can get along.
I think Pop and Avery would get along fine. No one else on the team would be able to stand him, though.
He's a solid coach for developing bigs (not sure how the Ayers happened). He'd be a great coach for a few years before they either make a jump to contention status (doubtful) or blow it up for another rebuild (likely).
Tim hates Avery IIRC tbh.
I'm gonna see if Pop will give me a job as towel boy, that way I'll get a few head coach offers around the league.
Wut, why does Timmy hate the Little General![]()
I think that would be great one day. Matty is a smart dude and it would be great to keep him in some capacity after his playing days are over.
Hm...and if Jacques Vaughn is let go by Magic, would he comeback to San Antonio?
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Duncan cannot abide Avery and I don't blame him. Avery is a preacher/training sergeant combo who yells at people and tells them how Gawd wants them to play, etc. etc. He is kind of the anti-Tim, in fact.
He could work with Robinson because Robinson was also a preacher-type (though more soft spoken) and didn't mind the militaristic screaming of Avery.
If Avery comes back here (please no) the team will disintegrate. I think that Buford and Pop know that and there is no chance of it happening.
Avery was pretty much an asshole as a team mate. He used to tell David that God should take away his gifts, because he didn't maximize them. That sort of thing. Fighting with Rose in the showers. They had to keep a lid on LOTS of stuff. He wasn't so much the Little General as the Little Dictator.
time to promote Bonner. do it mitch.
For those calling on Bonner to be assistant coach...what did the Spurs franchise ever do to you? It's pure evil to do that. Let the er rot in in the offseason for 's sake, in the name of humanity.
Yeah why have a very high iq basketball mind as an assistant.
Avery Johnson and PJ Carlisemo are dead ends. both have been pretty poor head coaches
I'd take Nate McMillan over either, and that's not saying much
I don't think PJ is that bad actually. I think he's definitely solid as an assistant. And I don't think Brooklyn should've fired him last season tbh.
Decks being cleared for Manu to get into coaching after one more final season.. IMO
But remarkable how the Spurs tree grows further & further in the league.
Brett Brown, Coach Bud, Jacques Vaughn and now Boylen in just 2 years apart from many more already.
I would love Manu as a coach. hasn't he said something about not wanting to though? i could be confusing that with somebody else
He's got all the money he will ever need, and has small children that he probably wants to spend time with. Coaches are road warriors. He's probably done with that, on an NBA level. Wouldn't shock me if someday he took the Argentina NT gig.
PJ wasn't a bad assistant. He is a very good defensive coach and I would take him over alot available assistant coaches out there. As a HC, no I wouldn't PJ coaching the Spurs, but as an Assistant, he devised alot great defensive schemes during his tenure with the Spurs.
That's not happening, at least this offseason. This season was a rebuilding season for the Magic. That's why they unloaded Big Baby. I wouldn't be surprise if the Magic draft Randle to pair with Vucevic. Those two would make a great front court for the Magic.
Same with Brett Brown and Philly. They were beating teams quite handily at the start of the season and it seem like the Philly brass told Brown to purposely lose. I believe half their games won were in the first 15 games of the season. B/c they started to tank hard and it was very obvious.
Nikola Vucevic
that guy tries way too hard
