It's amazing no one has come up with even one name in all this ing.
I would be better, for one. So would my brother Mike. Or my brother John. In fact, just about anyone who has a brain would be better. I have NEVER seen another NBA coach make the moronic choices that Poopa makes.
I don't know how many times I've screamed my head off when he takes a "hot" player out of the game FOR NO APPARENT REASON. And the recurring use of "small ball", even when it's painfully obvious that it's not working? Just awful coaching....
Poop, just fire yourself.

I think Pop's good, but there are a few lapses in games, you can see. The Spurs still have a lot to improve, but all this talk as if we're no LONGER Championship contenders is pretty stupid no matter how much you want to argue it's not January.
I think though, the Mavs are better than us right now, clicking consistently, and we haven't made our mental moves to adjust to them and the players' roles in this team. (Pop trying out Bonner, insisting on Finley's offense beyond jumpshooting). It'd help a lot with some more fire and athleticism, but there's no reason to count us out because of a three losses. At this point the losses are good, eeking by on a deep bench of veterans by a low margin, didn't prepare as much for the playoff grind.
I'm glad Manu admitted they have to improve, as opposed to Pop saying he was content with the effort...I don't know why he would be, because we HAD control of the game and the WIN, but didn't take advantage of the Mavs' subpar performance. (they were missing wide open jumpshots!)
I think that about any coach would improve the Spurs, as long as they know offense. Pop would stay on as GM and keep the focus of the team on the defensive side of the ball, but he need to bring in an offensive coach.
Like Nelson did with AJ, only in reverse. As for names ... Honesty I have no idea who is available. An assistant from one of the higher scoring teams in the league would do, maybe even a euro-coach. The important part is that Pop stay on to keep the focus on defense, and turn the offense over to someone else and let whoever do rotation and evaluation of who gets on the floor.
Pop would still be seen as the "coach" but someone else would run the show. Best of both worlds for Pop, if it doesn't work out, he can always fire the new guy and reclaim the glory ala Riley in Miami.
Agreed.
Nelson was ordered to scout Maui.Like Nelson did with AJ
Nelson was ordered to scout Maui.
Not while he was still coaching and having AJ run the practices.
The my point is that the in coming coach doesn't have to be anyone of name. The Spurs don't need a philosophical change, they simply need someone that doesn't have the attachment to the group of old players on the team and will find it easy to tell Finley, Barry, Udrih and any other scrub to ride the pine if their game doesn't improve and quickly.
The reason that nobody is throwing out names is because they see your counter argument coming. "Well how many rings has he won" when your question should be "How many rings could he have won with Duncan, Parker and Manu".
Pops rotations have been a problem for awhile, could another coach have taken the reins and guided the players to better records? Could another coach, making the right rotation adjustments do better the Pop has?
The answer is yes. Even I know to ride the hot hand (Manu and Oberto in the last game) and not bring in a pair of ice-cubes to cool the team down and shoot bad shoots (Udrih and Barry). Lets not even bring up the small ball issue, which everyone but Pops sees isn't working.
Just about anyone could have done better looking at it that way, the third assistant on the Celtics would probably do better with rotation issues (Whoever that is)
So the question becomes, could another coach coach this team to win more games? The answer? As long as the team maintains the "defensive blueprint", yes, just about any coach could. It doesn't matter how many rings the new guy would have, only that he knows the game and has no "attachment" to the oldsters on the current team.
That would be just about any coach (head or assistant) in the league right now, as well as several collage coaches and of course their is always oversea coaches (Argentina would be a good place to look)
At this point I would take Nate McMillan, Avery Johnson, Phil Jackson, and Eddie Jordan over Pop. Nobody else comes to mind. And they all have jobs. So I keep Pop. I wonder if RC is as good as we've made him out to be. He's the one that overrode Pop on Josh Howard right?
Great post. Unfortunately for me, I have to agree with you even though I'm a Spurs fan. It amazes me that someone such as yourself can see the situation with such clarity given that you are a Mavericks fan while others on this forum fail to see the forest for the trees even though they (ostensibly) follow the team.Nelson was ordered to scout Maui.

Losing the series last year was one of the toughest losses for me as a fan. For the first time I felt that my team lost not because of the roster but because of the exceptionally poor coaching.
Holy , a Mavs fan just dropped the post of the year.Nelson was ordered to scout Maui.

Don't tell you just took a Mav Fan's word on how to winHoly , a Mavs fan just dropped the post of the year.
Spurs fans are out of control.
Say what you will. She/he/it was pretty spot on about Robocoach.Don't tell you just took a Mav Fan's word on how to win
Spurs fans are out of control.
That's completely offbase. AJ was a name for a future coach for years.The my point is that the in coming coach doesn't have to be anyone of name.
Nelson never won anything.
These are enormous differences from your "just get someone else" blueprint.No, they honestly can't think of anyone who doesn't have a job already. People aren't afraid to speak their minds here--most of the time they have to have something in their minds first.The reason that nobody is throwing out names is because they see your counter argument coming.BullJust about anyone could have done better looking at it that way, the third assistant on the Celtics would probably do better with rotation issues (Whoever that is)
.
Unreal.
I have said it before and I will say it again....HIRE DAN SCOTT! That er will get you guys back to where you belong because he wants to win at any cost! Ask his son Nathan and he will tell you that Dan cares about winning!!
No one knows who's available, maybe you could help us out with that.
Clearly yelling at grown ass men ain't working for pop. And his rotations suck ass. But he probably is the coach for his long as he wants to be. How long would it take pop to fire pop if this was 1996.
You guys want him gone. Figure it out yourself.No one knows who's available, maybe you could help us out with that.Are the players aksing for him to be gone like 1996? I seriously doubt that.How long would it take pop to fire pop if this was 1996.
pop is not perfect
but pop messes with the rotations early in the season
he does this everyyear
pop is getting ready for the playoffs
but spur fans want number one seed in the deep west
but I would rather see who does what THIS YEAR
and get in the playoffs and get a ring
mem coach
Replacing a proven head coach and consistent winner is always a good idea.
Sincerely,
The Maloof Brothers
Refering to previous posts.....POP isn't the GM anymore, it's Buford....or something along those lines.....Also, I'm not sure we have a 1st round draft pick this year.....Do we?
