Rival coach’s comments prove Popovich still right man for the job

After San Antonio’s victory over the Indiana Pacers, head coach Rick Carlisle said that Coach Popovich deserves all the credit for the Spurs’ newfound success.

There have always been absurd demands for Coach Popovich to be fired due to the performance of this season. There’s a good reason why San Antonio has the team with the longest-tenured coach in the league. He is an exceptional relationship builder and coach of gifted athletes. Victor Wembanyama’s rise to prominence and the team’s expansion are evidence of his leadership skills.

Although some of you might be thinking that Coach Popovich shouldn’t get too much credit given the team’s two-game winning streak, there has been noticeable improvement in a number of areas, and people are starting to take note.

More deference is due to Coach Pop.
When the Lakers turned into a terrible club, Phil Jackson resigned because he was not interested in starting over. Tim Duncan and Coach Popovich might have retired simultaneously, but Popovich chose to stay during the lean times. The team’s roster has been lacking in talent. With effective coaching, one can overcome that disadvantage. To succeed in this competition, you need excellent players. He’s demonstrated that he can.

Supporters are fervent about getting back to the winning ways of the past, and if the front office takes the proper actions, this should happen sooner rather than later. When that fresh talent comes along, Coach Pop deserves to be there to steer the Wemby era.
