This is a pretty amazing opportunity for such a young guy. Imagine going from starring in Hamilton to leading the pre-eminent NBA franchise in a matter of 5 years.
Best of luck to the guy.
Here's hoping he's the next Erik Spoelstra.

ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME???????
Why does this franchise continue to shoot itself in the foot for the last 10 years? We are doomed.

I dont know which is more depressing right now. Pop being the last connection to the glory days being gone or that Johnson is going to be the coach so we have no chance to be good again.

What are you most excited about playing under new coach Mitch Johnson?
Sochan: His growth. He is young for a young head coach. That’s impressive.
He’s so passionate about it. He wants to be perfect. This season, there’s going to be ups and downs. But I know who he is as a person and as a coach. He wants the best for all of us and for himself. He wants to create a winning culture. We have to help him as a team. It’s going to be a process.
I’m super excited. I’ve been able to be with him not only on the court but at Basketball Without Borders in Poland. That relationship is there. I think over time, Pop gave him a lot of freedom to coach and take the leading role in practice and timeouts. He drew ATOs. He’s made for it. He’s ready for it. I’m super happy for him and his family.
We started really well when he was the interim and the “Spurs way” is to keep it in-house. It’s the smart way. Pop really wanted that, too. I never had any doubts.

Notice a lot of players talking about Mitch growing into the role... That's a compliment of sorts, but yeah there were some growing pains...
I hope things will be easier with a better team. Rising waters lifting all boats type of thing.
