Since the firing of Bob Hill in 1996, Pop has consistently coached the Spurs, give or take an ejection or two. Tonight the Spurs face off against the Sacramento Kings.
Garry St. Jean has been with the Kings since 1992 when Pop came on the scene. Pop gave the Kings an inaugural 20-point drubbing in their first match-up but lost to St. Jean three weeks later. St. Jean was fired and replaced by assistant Eddie Jordan.
