As mentioned previously, an article entitled “Pop’s Incredible Longevity” revealed that San Antonio Spurs 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 he faces the Toronto Raptors, whose franchise is only one season longer than Pop’s year count as Spurs head coach.
But unlike the Spurs, the Raptors have had eight head coaches that have faced Pop prior to tonight’s game.
