RIP Stan Albeck

[rudwick]

I think he did a pretty good job coaching the Spurs. Condolences to friends and family.

RIP Stanley Screamer ! Right about now missing the Bruise Brothers in a long forgotten era...

Stan was legit. Coached in the days when the players smoked in the locker room

He used to hang out at the old Paesano's on McCullough.

Second best Spurs coach ever. When I lived in SA I went to plenty of those run and gun games. RIP.

It got loud in the convention center arena. Coach Albeck, Ice, A-Train, Mitch and the hope of one day winning it all. It never happened with that team but still fun times and great memories.

Made it to back to back western conference finals.
2nd time lost a really close 4-2 to the showtime lakers

He was a little before my time but man the bums loved Stan. Why did he leave the Spurs? Seems like they went from WCF and one shot away from forcing a Game 7 to the Lakers to being a bubble lottery/playoff team overnight.

If I remember correctly, there was a contract squabble and the Spurs traded him to the Nets for a second round pick. The Spurs were an old team and went .500 the next year. All I can say is that it is good thing this generation of fans weren’t around back then. ��
