Sean Elliot: Future Spurs Coach?

[T Park]

Inspired Alonzo Mourning.

I know that was meant as a diss but in a lot of ways its true. Elliott has endeared himself to the community in SA...also what he overcame to get back on the court inspired a lot of folks and not just in San Antonio.

No diss, really. We live in the same neighborhood. He is a great guy. He is a True Homer when it comes to the Spurs thought. I really like Steve Kerr as a commentator.

Elliot has already gone on record saying that he believes the head coaching job is far to stressfull and time consuming for him.

Dude, Chris Webber is available.

I'd like to see him on the TNT crew. They frequently have a fourth chair that ranges from pretty good (Reggie Miller) to downright awful (Magic). I think Sean and his sense of humor would fit very nicely.

ahem... i like magic's analyses.

Allright maybe head coach is a bit of a stretch (and it is) but do you think possibly an assistant coach?

Have you ever noticed that very few coaches who go into TV (and I can think of a couple who were very successful coaches) ever go back to coaching?

And I can't think of any player who has made a succesful transition to media work who has ever gone into coaching later.

There are probably several reasons for this:
1. Less time-even with proper preparation. 2. Less stress. 3. People still love them, even when they're crappy. 4. Some fans would hate Jesus if he coached an undefeated season for not running up the scores. 5. The money is good--and steady. 5. They have a reasonable chance of maintaining a long career at the job, no matter what the won-loss record is. 6. They can still be friends with players and enjoy the game.

Why would Sean give that up to enter coaching at any level?
