Well, that's sad but unsurprising. Suddenly there's a lot of coaching vacancies on the Spurs.... And this solidifies Becky as #1 lead for HC after Pop's done.

The Spurs' Tim Duncan is stepping away from full-time coaching after spending last season on the bench on Gregg Popovich's staff, @NYTSports has learned

San Antonio's internal belief was always a one-year stint on the bench for Duncan, who is expected to return to his previous post-retirement role in which he made frequent appearances at the team's practice facility to provide various Spurs with player development assistance

Figured that would happen, it was awesome seeing Duncan on the bench again but it was weird too
! I was secretly hoping he would be the next head coach.
Well that didn't last long
Manu next.
we'll always have that game against the hornets where he led the team to a win.
1-0 as head coach all time.
This doesn't mean he won't be.
I hope manu steps in as asst coach. and timmy remains in their developmental facility. waiting for spurs to be back in the discussion as championship caliber team again
Timmy will be around the team. Just has enough interests outside of b-ball to not want to be tied down to it most of the year.
imagine he doesn't want Corona virus either. The bubble worked okay but the next season is gonna get some coaches sick and why coach if you don't need to/want to
Ok, Manu you got next or TP maybe.
Why was Timmy always considered a one year stint? Any thoughts there.
Because Timmy can do whatever the he wants!
I'm guessing he was trying it out for a year to see if he liked it. I also believe COVID caused him not to want to do it again this upcoming season. The NBA is going to have a messed up travel schedule if they don't play in a bubble so I'm sure Tim wasn't down with that. I know he also would not be down with going to a bubble.
It was presumed to be Pop’s last season, and with the loss of Pop’s wife, TD probably wanted to be there for a friend. That’s been my assumption.
Good for Timmy tbh.
COVID likely a factor. When it’s finally over he may be back..
1-0 lifetime.
And started Brent Forms.
Glad he's no longer continuing coaching with Grandpas influence around.
Undefeated as a HC
Raise your hand if you didn't see that coming. That one sequence with Tim and Becky looking at each other because Pop was screwing up and wouldn't listen was enough. But it wasn't the only thing.
Darn, I really wanted to see Tim come back next season to coach.
I would like Sean to be the next coach
It felt like a test drive for Duncan to see if he wants to be a head coach one day. Try it for a year and come back when Pop retires.
So who do y’all want to fill that assistant spot? Someone returning like Brett Brown or Boylen? Or someone new like Atkinson, D’Antoni, or someone else?
D’Antoni joined Nash in Brooklyn.
