Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Mon Nov 4, 2024 3:46 pm

Gregg Popovich suffered a health issue before the San Antonio Spurs' game on Saturday and will be away from the team for an indefinite period. Assistant coach Mitch Johnson is expected to serve as interim head coach for the Spurs in Popovich's absence.

Johnson played collegiately at Stanford before a professional career in the G League and in Europe.

Johnson first became an assistant coach with the Spurs in 2016 and moved to the front of the bench in 2020.

How is this guy ahead on the pecking order over Brett Brown?

This is the Rudy T excuse to finally get Pop to resign. The Spurs have been trash for seven years now.

The man might have had a stroke or heart attack and you guys are worried about if the Spurs are finally showing him the door? Gross.

This. For some reason I was actually surprised to see that was the discussion in the comments. Hope Pop is alright.
