It’s been no secret that the Sixers look up to the San Antonio Spurs. Which is why Brett Brown, a disciple of Gregg Popovich in San Antonio, was probably thrilled to pilfer one of his former mentor’s top consiglieres last July, in Ime Udoka. Udoka, a former NBA player, worked with the Spurs for 7 years before moving on. Last summer he was a head coaching candidate and interviewed for the Cavaliers job. Now it appears he’s been named as a “front-runner” for the Chicago Bulls likely head coaching vacancy, per Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun Times.
It makes some sense for Chicago.
