As mentioned previously, an article entitled “Pop’s Incredible Longevity” revealed that head coach Gregg Popovich has coached against 307 different NBA coaches during his twenty-eight year tenure at the helm.
Since the firing of Bob Hill in 1996, Pop has consistently coached the Spurs, give or take an ejection or two. Tonight the Spurs face off against the Atlanta Hawks who are in their first full season with Quin Snyder at the helm. He and Pop go way back as Snyder was the head coach of the Utah Jazz from 2014-2022.
