NBA coach carries on
Popovich won’t let a stroke stop him
Basketball coaching legend Gregg Popovich wants to continue working as coach of the San Antonio Spurs after his stroke. "No one is more excited to see me back on the bench than the talented people who have guided my rehabilitation process," the 75-year-old said.
"They quickly learned that I'm not that easy to coach." However, there is still no exact timetable for his return to coaching.
Five-time champion
Popovich suffered a minor stroke in November. "This has certainly been an unexpected six weeks for my family and me," said the NBA coach. Popovich has coached the Spurs since 1996, making him the record holder in the NBA for the longest tenure with a single club. He has won a total of five NBA titles with the club during this time. He also led the USA national team to gold at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2023 for his successes.
