After Pop’s first ejection of the season, Tim Duncan took over as head coach

For weeks, the rumor has swirled that Assistant Coach Becky Hammon would be the first woman in all four major sports to serve as a head coach for a men’s team if and when Gregg Popovich was ejected from a game. (Okay it was always a case of when more than if . . .)

On Saturday night, Pop was ejected. In the early stages of the second half Derrick White was called for his second foul on Damian Lillard in as many minutes. This time, there appeared to be no contact, and Pop went into, well, Pop mode.
