    They way he was speaking so highly off the team after a miserable season was telling. Was a great run. I suspect we are going to be very bad next year, let the rebuild begin.

    I think she has earned the right to be in the running.

    Why didn’t Becky coach on Tim HOF night?

    A reporter tweeted that it was because she wasn't the assistant coach who scouted the Suns. Whoever scouted the opposing team gets to be the head coach that night.

    Pop will forever be remembered as one of the best to draw up a play and one of the worst with rotations which in the end made him a mediocre coach who road the coattails of the big three. I for one will be quite happy to see him gone and hope they clean the front office too.

    i could be mistaken but I don’t remember that happening when coach bud was assistant. Once he became the top assistant wasn’t he always the coach whenever pop got ejected or missed a game? At least that’s what it felt like.

    It's been different the last couple of years. There are no top assistants on the team. The reason behind it is Pop wants each coach to grow.

    As for the next coach:

    My heart says Matt Nielsen, but my head thinks it's Becky... if the rumor is at all true. Mospur has been wrong before (but it doesn't take away from his reliability).

    Coach Bud at least has a track record of coming into a situation and retooling the offense to be more modern and better utilize the talent we have. Bud probably sees a job in SA with a long tenure, so that would be a draw, but the team doesn't have an obvious path, so I have to wonder if he'd want to rack up a bunch of losses on his resume. Hard to say.

    The worst thing is I feel like we'll rarely see Pop again.

    He seems like the type who will disappear -- we'll all just be reporters with dumb questions to him from here on.

    He wont be like Tim, Tony and Manu who seem (in some cases hesitantly) to be making SA their permanent home. Or Gervin for that matter.

    He'll be the everlasting gap in local Spurs history -- and he's one of the biggest pieces.

    He's his own guy, that's for sure.

    Man, Spurs fans can be a weird bunch. "I won't be satisfied until all the championship knowledge is purged from this team. If he has any connection to anything positive, he needs to be jettisoned ASAP "
    The "championship knowledge" has long since retired. Nostalgia is clouding your judgement.

    It's far more important that they modernize themselves (shot profile, player promotion, etc.) immediately than cling to mythology.

    Unfortunately, Hammon's being promoted would somewhat stifle that because it would mean the continuation of the coach being the star of the team media wise.

    I would like him to coach next season and then retire. Either way, it’s been a great run and whatever he does I wish him well.

    Why would Bud leave Milwaukee for San Antonio?

    Unless they fire him which is likely since his team won’t go far in the playoffs anyway

    Uh no, mediocrity was what we got in the 90s. I know you're a butthurt right-wing nut but Pop was an amazing coach. LOL some scrub like Bob Hill bringing the 2014 team to a le.

    Can't wait to find out who the new scapego- ahem, I mean coach will be.
    The bar should be 17-47 win % the first year, right?
    You know, CIA Pops record before Timmy happened.

    Slurpers all primed to make the bar be Championships without Prime Timmy Duncan.

    Mo Cheeks could not get out of SA fast enough when he played for the Spurs in 1989. He hated playing in SA and was shipped off for Rod Strickland. Probably not a thing for SA.

    Coach Pop will be the Ultimate Coach in Spurs history so pretty much anyone will be a step down from his peak - that's a hard act to follow for anyone (even an experienced coach who has seen some success). I don't know if watching his team lose 50-60 games next year with a young, retooling roster will appeal to Popovich. It this year is it, I would just say "Thanks for the Memories".

    As a Spurs fan growing up, I NEVER envisioned the Spurs winning five les. That was always reserved (and manipulated by the league) for the Celtics and the Lakers back in the day. Small market NBA teams used to exist simply as fodder for the "chosen" franchises. I think things have changed at least a little bit in that regard because of the Spurs success. Even before Pop's coaching tenure, the Spurs were at least a very good team and had a shot at making the finals several times. Getting the job completely done was Pop's huge contribution - he took advantage of opportunities afforded by Robinson, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, and the quitting #2 Nephew. If not for a couple of flukey bad breaks, the Spurs could have won several more championships as well.

    I would not be surprised at either one more year or retirement for Pop. The organization needs some focus overall - I'm not sure that will get done this offseason. Hopefully, a clear path going forward is started soon.

    Eww to both Bud and Gentry. Never liked either them as head coaches. Pop will forsure have major influence on who the next head coach will be. I could see Kerr making a call to Pop about Mike Brown .

    Pop Sniffers are very on the defensive about any thoughts the retirement could have come like say 2015. Certainly after Zaza. Your die hard real hardkowre sniffers think the last 2 seasons were completely non Pop related.

    So certainly being the extremely fair folks they are, their expectation for the new coach's first season should be no more then Pops first season.
    Right?
