Nielsen promoted

Mostly I lurk but if you have a chance to beat Ace or BatManu you go for it. BTW, I like this move.

[Dejounte]

Next head coach of the Spurs, probably

[MultiTroll]

[ginobilized]

Matt Nielsen the Australian?
Just sayin'

[BackHome]

Anybody got anything to say about this guy I have never heard about him?

[Ocotillo]

He's coached the Austin Spurs last season and appeared to do a good job relating to the players and seemed to do a good job managing the games as well. In the Gubble, Tre Jones and Luka S seem to thrive under him. I think he will be a good addition to the bench.

[GAustex]

Better than B…

[spurs1990]

Hammon, the Stanford guy, and now this fellow. Most unheralded assistants in the league I'd imagine

[Chomag]

If he's good at saying "Yes sir" then he will fit right in and do just fine.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

We Staaaaaaaackkkedddd

Underrated post.

[ElNono]

Anything to do with the ratings?

And yet, they’ll be at the top of interview lists for Lead assistant and HC positions in a few years.

Lining up the Aussies. Who’s next?

Is the Stanford guy the tall one with the man bun/mullet?

you beat me to the punch.

he did a good job coaching the G League team last season and was a solid assistant for Australian national team. I think he will be a good guy to have on the bench.

I think that sounds like Will Hardy who is on the Nets or some place.

Stanford is the black coach. He was a Pac10 all American in the late 2000s.
I literally can't remember his name or if I ever learned it. That's how much of an unsung group popvich is rolling with.

[Larry O]

Here is the Spurs' coaching staff, minus Pop & Nielsen. Hope this helps:

Becky Hammon
(College - Colorado State)
Will Hardy
(College - Williams)

Mitch Johnson
(College - Stanford)

Chip Engelland
(College - Duke)

Darius Songaila
(College - Wake Forest)

Mitch Johnson (Stanford), was our Summer League coach this year, BTW.

White and promoted from within' (aka cheap); it never fails. You'd have to go back to '12 to find the last tenured black assistant(s) on the staff (Newman on bench, Vaughn behind).

Duke has received plenty of flak over the years for their favoring/stereotyping white/mixed and suburban over black and inner city, yet they continue to receive a free pass.

In addition to being a non glamour market, this is why so many don't want to play here. It'd be interesting to hear Murray's thoughts if you gave him truth serum.

Johnson is mixed, but yeah he'll be filling the "token black" role all the same.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I mean, yeah, he did fine in the G League, but seriously, we must have the worst assistant resumes of any coaching staff in the league.

I must be thinking of Songalia, the tall guy with the heavy metal haircut.
