Pop announced he stepping down as HC of the Spurs and will focus on being President of Basketball Operations which he is  currently in addition to HC. Will miss his presence on the court.

We knew this was coming, but it's still the end of an era in professional sports.

Expected since the announcement of his stroke. Being 75+ with a stroke and passing out at a random restaurant isn't best for his health.


I assume this means they have their guy lined up.

 While he annoys the hell out of me, I have to say that he's one of the five best coaches in my lifetime in any sport.

Loved him on and off the court because I agreed with him.

Great coach. I don't care for him personally but he is definitely one of the best coaches ever.

One of the most thought provoking NBA coaches.  I admire that even more than his coaching ability which was immense.

Just saw they're making Mitch Johnson the HC...that is a terrible terrible hire.

At first glance I am also critical of the hire.  However, looking around the NBA, I think there are only two really good coaches, Kerr and Spoelstra.  All the others seem to make bone headed decisions on rotations, on defenses, or on handling their spoiled rich rosters. 

So I will withhold judgment, hope he fills out his coaching staff [which was very short handed] with really good assistants, and gets the job done.  If he does not, Steve Kerr's contract expires at the end of next season. That might provide a chance to hire the best.
