Something interesting I noticed.

Pop still calls Larry Brown "coach". Not as in, "Coach Brown did a great job with his team." but "Coach did a great job putting this team together." I just think that it's so cool that Pop still has that kind of respect for his mentor. Such loyalty is seldom seen in this world.

Without Larry Brown there would be no Pop.

well i still call my mom "mom", my Kindergarten teacher "mrs. Russell" and my father still calls his Lt. "Lt."

While there were some boos for Larry in the intro, I'm glad many fans cheered him as well.

Did anyone else notice the announcer forgot Popovich in the beginning and went straight to the starting line-up? I guess we weren't the only ones a little nervous / excited.
