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 the Spurs face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Before the Thunder blasted in Oklahoma City, Seattle was SuperSonic. And back in 1996 when Pop took the clipboard, he faced former Spurs point guard George Karl who was the head coach of the Super Sonics from 1992-1998.
