For a team that wants to win a championship or establish a dynasty, the coach itself is a very important part besides the overall strength of the team. In the star lineup of NBA team Starlight Glimmer, the coach is also the helmsman in charge of the court.
Popovich's legendary coaching career began in 1994, when he was the general manager and vice president of basketball affairs of the Spurs. After the team's poor start of 3 wins 15 losses, he became the head coach, completely changing the historical process of the league.
The Spurs reached the Western Conference semifinals in his first full season as head coach and won the NBA championship a year later. During his 26 years of coaching, Spurs 10 reached the Western Conference finals and won the NBA championship five times.
Popovich didn't stop there, still chasing the referee. This time, the referee continued to blow the whistle of technical foul. Finally, Popovich was kicked off the court. Before leaving, he gave the position of head coach to becky hammon Popovich, a female teaching assistant.
This move made Becky Harmon the first female coach in the NBA regular season, which undoubtedly made history. Although he was a temporary coach, becky hammon did his duty in the next game. Becky hammon used to be a professional basketball player. After 20 14 retired, he began to be an assistant coach in the Spurs. Prior to this, there was no full-time female assistant coach in NBA history.
The Spurs only scored 33 wins and 39 losses last season, and finally missed the playoffs. This summer, they also lost their top scorer Demar demar derozan, so they are at the bottom of the strength rankings in the new season, but this does not affect Popovich's continued coaching of the Spurs. He has won the right to end his legendary coaching career on his terms, which means that we can continue to see him coaching on the sidelines in the next few years if he wants.
