A handful of San Antonio Spurs assistant coaches have sought work elsewhere, in the form of a head coaching job. Ettore Messina and Becky Hammon interviewed for positions, but have yet to be hired, whether it’s due to teams without a final decision on their head-coaching vacancy or that someone else was hired to fill the position.
So far, James Borrego is the only Spurs assistant to be hired elsewhere, as the Charlotte Hornets made him their head coach for the 2018-19 season. However, it seems another coach from Gregg Popovich’s tree could leave for a promotion.
