Gregg Popovich isn’t buying this inexperienced business when it comes to Igor Kokoskov.
“Igor’s been coaching for like 90 years,” joked Popovich about Kokoskov, who’s been an NBA assistant dating back to his time with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2000-01. “Everybody thinks he’s some kind of rookie.”
It’s been a rough start for Kokoskov as the Phoenix Suns (2-7) suffered through a seven-game losing skid, but Popovich believes there are better days ahead for the Suns with their first-time NBA head coach at the helm.
