Bill self ?
No one is talking about the Bill Self thing? I’d think some people would be bouncing off the walls here.

Not sure how much smoke there really is here, since a. the season isn't over, b. we haven't heard definitively from Pop that he's thinking of retiring now, and c. anything else from RC/Bill Self etc.
Plus dat Becky
Bill Self on rumors he’s leaving KU for NBA: ‘I’m not going anywhere’
Don't they always say that right up to the press conference?
I actually like that idea. Better than Messina that's for sure
This rumor has been floating around for more than ten years. I know there is some validity to it but it's not set in stone. If you were to bet on it, Self would be up there with probably Messina and Udoka. Given that compe ion, I wouldn't mind Self.
I've been on record for about 15 years now that I wanted Budenholzer to eventually replace Pop. That, obviously, appears to be difficult now.
I know this would is an unpopular opinion but I think Avery Johnson would be a strong choice. Give him a long leash and at the very least you'd have a solid tactician who wouldn't put up with his team not playing hard. Plus his work with the Mavs looks strong in retrospect. He led a them to 67 wins and a near championship with minimal talent outside of Dirk. Almost winning a championship with the likes of DeSagana Diop and Adrian Griffin starting and with Jason Terry as your second best player? Damn impressive, IMO.
ewwwww if messina becomes coach i become a full time austin spurs fan
Bill can himSelf, tbh. I want Manu to take over from Pop.
Becky or Bust imo
Strong, strong journalism.
"...even though this season was one of his finest coaching jobs during his historic tenure with the San Antonio Spurs."
"Personally, I’m rooting for the Spurs to make Becky Hammon the first female head coach in major American men’s sports."
"Unfortunately Self has never coached at the NBA level, but the fact that he’s already in the Hall of Fame should give him plenty of credibility in the pros."
speculation< rumor< distinct possibility
Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili could be returning from the past via a Time Machine as 27 year olds, ready to play next season. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it might!
If Pop asks him and Manu says yes, i think its his job, i hope. Otherwise it's Becky and maybe this guy op mentions but he would've done the jump by now.
I don't think Manu wants to coach so that leave us with Becky. I don't like the others.
Best case scenario is Becky with Pop in a Pat Riley role.
Manu's success was based off of his instincts. Can't teach instincts. He wouldn't want to be a head coach, anyways.
Manu drawing up plays to throw the ball to LeBron would be painful to watch.
Why Bill Self? We will miss popovich if this is true.
Bill self is an above average coach in his vatgeory. In the NBA he will be nothing by food.
Becky ftw.
If it's Messina or Becky, I'd go Becky all day, tbh.
Nba players would hate Avery
Becky
Spurs have been the most progressive franchise in the NBA for the past whatever amount of years, it would only be fitting that they hire the first woman head coach..
