Honestly, I'm not a fan of the Spurs coaching staff.
Whether it is the GDP of the first establishment of the Spurs dynasty, or the two "double virtues" in the second spring, or the Tielin, Mills, Xiaobai, Murray and so on, which have been talked about in the mouths of fans in recent years. In the NBA, players are always at the heart of attention. But everything has accidents, and so does the NBA, the "notorious" old man Popovich, who is often hung up by fans, league players and many team managers, without stingy appreciation and praise for him.
The trophy for the best coach should always be on Popovich's desk, and he just takes this trophy out every year for us to take pictures. I can't even express how much I appreciate him and all that I've learned from him. (NBA head coach Mike Budenholzer commented)
I believe Popovich is one of the best basketball-savvy people we've ever met, and I wish I could be with him every day and see how he thinks, see what he's doing, what he's thinking. (NBA star LeBron James review)
We all thought bobo would always "scold" the players on the sidelines, spray the referee to eat T and then leave the court early for red wine. But it is undeniable that in addition to the identity of the Spurs head coach, he is already a 73-year-old man off the court. Maybe one day, he will want to take a break and live a different life. Go cycling with Manu, go fishing with Daze, and play tennis with Parker.
Who will be Bobo's successor after retirement? Becky Harmon, the answer that was previously unquestionable for Spurs fans. Most people think That Harmon will succeed Popovich to coach the Spurs, after all, she has always been seen as Popovich's first successor, and she has been under Popovich for eight years and learned how to build a successful culture. We should assume that Harmon will become the first female head coach in NBA history, will become a great coach, and will lead spurs to open a new chapter.
But Harmon will leave the Spurs at the end of the season to teach with the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces, with which he signed a five-year contract and is currently the highest salary in the WNBA (and a testament to Harmon's prowess in disguise). Although I don't know what made Harmon leave the Spurs coaching team, everyone who has seen Harmon sister lead the team knows that she has the ability to stay on the highest stage, perhaps for her previous team love, perhaps Harmon's career planning, or perhaps the stereotype of women in the NBA workplace. But whatever it was, Harmon really left us. Primo said: "Harmon is one of the most intelligent people in basketball I know. That's what you have to see. I love working with her. It was sad that she had to leave, but I was really happy for her. Murray said of Harmon's departure: "It's sad and emotional, but it's also exciting for her because it's a new journey. I thought she was going to do a good job, and I told her, 'The road goes up and down, enjoy the journey.' This is another chapter in your life. The Spurs coaching team is full of NBA, and every year someone leaves the big family, and the young eagles who have been sheltered can never spread their wings and soar, they need a wider sky, go to a new environment to show their talents. Even if we send talent to other teams every year, we have never worried that the Spurs coaching team will be left unusable, as long as Popovich is there, the Spurs are still the Spurs, and the holy city is still the home we are familiar with.
Bobo may be retiring! The real question is in front of us, who will take over as the Spurs manager? The most senior assistant coach in the Spurs' coaching staff after Hardy and Harmon left one after another was Mickey Johnson, but Mickey Johnson was still a bit naïve and not sophisticated enough as a head coach. The pressure on Spurs' next manager is also self-evident, both to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Spurs' revival and the pressure brought by Spurs' previous glorious history, this manager is not good.
Many fans are looking forward to the return of GDP, and they have been briefly appointed as a spur assistant coach, but after apparently retiring, his mind is no longer on basketball. Parker traveled to Europe to become a stake in the football team and was rumored to have sold his villa in Al Quds Al-Sharif. Although Bald has served on the Spurs, he has no previous coaching experience, and the extremely high ball dealer may make Manu feel good in the coaching field, but the position of head coach may be a bit too hasty for Bald now.
Players will always be the most eye-catching presence in the NBA, but the entire coaching team behind it is also an indispensable part, the story of injury Zhongyong is not uncommon in the NBA, and good talent also needs Bole to be better cashed. The rebuilding Spurs need a backbone, and the good news is that according to American journalist Mark Stein, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich will be in charge for another season.
In the new season, whether it is Bobo writing his final chapter at the Spurs, or the Spurs ushering in a new head coach, opening another good story of the stonemasons knocking stones. We all believe that the future of the Holy City is still bright, and the glory of the Spurs will be written again.
