Spurs coach ends a legendary Hall of Fame career.  Enjoy retirement.

Wonder if the Spurs get bold and hire former Pop assistant and current WNBA Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon as the next coach in San Antionio.  If I recall, she did fill in for him a few times when she was there and he was away for health reasons.

It’s Mitch Johnson. They announced it right after Pop stepped away.

The new guy is stepping into a great spot, especially given the Spurs’ draft situation. 

I always wonder who made who great. Was it the coach making the players great, vice versa or both. I found him to be arrogant and condesending at times, and his last 6-7 years were abysmal.

I always wonder this as well. Phil Jackson won a lot... the man coach MJ AND Kobe. Bill Belichick is pretty pedestrian when Tom Brady isn't his QB. The list goes on and on.

Definitely an arrogant dude, especially later on. Made it hard to root for him.
