In an interesting discussion of rumors that Gregg Popovich is the “first priority” of the Nets coaching search, Spurs GM R.C. Buford told CNBC’s Jabari Young that he’s “under the assumption” Pop will be back. But he noted as well the power of the Spurs collegial culture should not be dismissed ... no matter who comes or goes.
Young, who previously covered the Spurs for the San Antonio Express-News, recounted the conversation in a report filed on CNBC.com Sunday.
“Pop’s vision has clearly been our North Star,” he said.
