Greg Popovich gives pep talk to staff of San Antonio Food Bank

Gregg Popovich delivered a powerful message in a conference call with a group of local workers who needed it more than most this week.

Popovich, ever quick with a dig and a quip publicly, dug into his arsenal of stories from "some tough games" to provide the staff of the San Antonio Food Bank with a vital takeaway on how to weather a crisis, the organization's president and CEO Eric Cooper told the San Antonio Express-News.

The Spurs coach dialed in with the food bank staff Monday, four days after volunteers fed 10,000 households at a drive-thru on the city's South Side, the most the food bank has ever fed.
