As more and more teams entered the offseason, the coaching carousel started to spin. Mike Budenholzer, Monty Williams, Nick Nurse, Dwane Casey, Doc Rivers and Stephen Silas have all been fired. Nurse and Williams immediately found another job while other coaches that were fired in recent years, like Frank Vogel and Ime Udoka, are now employed again.
For Spurs fans, watching the rest of the league reshuffle their staff as often as they do feels a little strange since the franchise has had unprecedented levels of continuity. As coach Pop gets closer to retirement, though, these moves provide a good reminder that what has happened under him in San Antonio is unique and unlikely to be replicated in the future.
