Considering how many San Antonio Spurs assistant coaches routinely get interviewed for opportunities as the head coach of another team, it speaks volumes to the type of organization that Gregg Popovich helped cultivate through recruiting only the best basketball minds to work alongside him.
Ettore Messina was once looking like a popular candidate to get an open head coaching gig, but now that focus has shifted to fellow Spurs assistant coach James Borrego.
When multiple assistants on the same staff are heavily sought after commodities to lead an NBA team, praise must be directed to the organization that allows such skillful leaders to flourish.
