San Antonio Spurs: Udoka’s departure paves way for Becky Hammon to make history

It was reported that longtime assistant coach and former San Antonio Spurs player Ime Udoka will depart from the Alamo City for a new gig as Sixers’ coach Brett Brown’s lead assistant, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Udoka spent seven years working closely under the NBA’s all-time winningest coach in Gregg Popovich, studying his tactics and developing strategies for the rotating cast of players that he helped develop.

Popovich signed a three-year extension at the beginning of the offseason, solidifying himself within the organization for at least a few years longer.
