Suddenly! Popovich officially ended!

Officially dismissed as president

Goodbye Popovich! !

There was no news about Popovich for a while. Unexpectedly, today's news was that get out of class was over and he would never be the Spurs bishop again. In other words, Popovich will completely bid farewell to his coaching career and retreat behind the scenes. It is a pity that he bid farewell in this way in the last season of his career.

Last night, famous reporter Shams reported that Popovich will no longer serve as the head coach of the Spurs and will transform into a full-time position as the team president. The Spurs officials subsequently issued an announcement confirming the news.

The end of one era marks the beginning of another era. According to Shams, Popovich has played the role of the team president in the offseason and will continue to be an important member of the team's operations.

It is worth mentioning that Popovich has appeared in the Spurs training hall recently. It can be seen that he really wants to return to his coaching position, but his body cannot support him in doing this. It can also be seen that Popovich's enthusiasm for coaching and his love for this job.

Soon, Shams followed up and reported that the Spurs officially confirmed that acting coach Mickey Johnson will replace Popovich as the Spurs head coach! It is worth mentioning that Mitch Johnson has been an assistant coach for the Spurs for ten years and took over as interim head coach in November last year. He is now the successor to Greg Popovich.

It is understood that Mickey is the successor trained by Bobo himself. Before being appointed as the team's acting coach, Bobo often asked him to arrange tactics at critical moments. Bobo believes that training coaches is like developing players, and he will discover and develop those who he thinks have potential.

In fact, in the NBA, "family inheritance" can sometimes become a problem, but in the Spurs it is the secret to success. Bobo cherishes this very much and always protects it.

mentions Mickey, and many people may not understand him, but one of his actions saved Dezhangtai Murray.

It is understood that former Spurs player and Pelicans defender De Zhangtai Murray once said many times in an interview that he was "saved" by Mickey when he was a teenager. Mickey released Murray from jail with bail and allowed him to participate in basketball training with strict academic further studies to help Murray enter college and enter the NBA.

Then, when the Spurs inspected Murray during the 2016 draft, Mickey's excellent coaching and communication skills quickly attracted the team's attention and hired him as an assistant coach for the team's development league team Austin Spurs.

Although that is the case, the Spurs' performance this season has been obviously criticized under Mickey's coaching, which is that there are too many problems on the spot, and they have made a most difficult path, which is undoubtedly fatal to the Spurs.
