No. Pop is in his 70s. Its foolish to expect him to stick around that long (assuming Primo is here for 8-10 years at min).
I like Primo, but the homerism on him is off the charts. He's already had two inches added to his height, and had the word "goat" thrown his way, geezuz. One look at his assist-to-turnover ratio over the last year should help apply the breaks a little bit at least... it's pretty bad.

How chooses to grieve and cope is certainly their personal decision.
But i am assuming you are doing your job to the job specs.
You are not supervisor of an entire team (or are you?) and are not dragging down the whole team.
I'm also assuming you did not make 100 million + in the last 20 years thus can fall back and do pretty much whatever occupation / learn a new trick that you want to.
Pop OTOH.....
If someone, while grieving is making completely bad decisions that affect the whole company production and well being then, sad as it is they must be told for the good of the company. Why should all in the company suffer just to cow tow to one person? (Exclusion would be Pops Pets. They don't suffer, but rather monetarily prosper at the expense of the rest of the team.) Exact opposite of what Timmy Duncan built. That being no one gets ridiculous preferential treatment.
Didn't know that Pop was coaching in Austin...
Really??
Really.
How about the widow / widower left with nothing and often thru no fault of their own.
Have any empathy for them?
I don't think Pop will stay because of Primo but I do think Primo will get bumped up to the main squad quickly so that Pop can help develop him on his last year coaching.
Pop has stayed this long because the team owners want him in charge of the basketball operations. And the coaching, while he's at it.
Whatever one may think about Pop as coach, he knows how to run an NBA team. There's no denying that. Such people are not easy to find.
As to Pop having nothing else to do, that is naive foolishness. For one thing, obviously, he could write his memoirs. He could travel the country, and the world, talking basketball, sports in general, or whatever.
Pop is a man who could call the Biden White House, say he'd like to have dinner with the President, and get the invitation delivered overnight by courier. Or they might tell him just to arrive whenever he can, and the invitation will be handed to him at the security gate as he's escorted in.
Pop is not like the typical clerk, or machinist or whatever. He's a man who could do more if he retired.
Of course the notion of him staying on because of a particular player is only silliness.
Why would he stay because of Primo. It's not like he's a Tim Duncan level talent.
Didn’t you hear? He is further along than Duncan was at his age. ��
I’ve stated this.
