He was a good coach in Europe, iirc. He might end up keeping the job.
All the best to him unless it comes to playing the Spurs.
I am so happy for him
Good. Now he can start Blake over that washed out fraud jrue.
Someone associated with the Spurs running their team was inevitable I guess. Should’ve taken Becky when they had the chance.
eta: Obviously glad they didn’t for her sake.
When did he join the Blazers? I guess I missed the news. I knew he won a championship in France, I think, as a coach.
Cheago!!! Let’s go
Yassssss
Happy for Splitter! Crazy situation in Portland but this could be a blessing in disguise for him to showcase his coaching skills. I wish him the best.
You love to see it 🥲
Let’s gooooooooo! If Portland doesn’t disintegrate this season he might get more offers
Rooting for him until he plays us. I love Tiago.
And Pop’s coaching tree pops another branch!
Has anyone ever made a diagram of the pop coaching tree
And then one that extends from Don Nelson/ Larry Brown as those were the dudes who got Pop started (and Hank Egan)
As someone from Denver, seeing Chauncey get caught up on this really hurts. Like he’s such a well respected figure here in the city, it be like D Rob getting caught up in some shady stuff.
It’s really sad to see a favorite player fall from grace like this, but I’m wishing Tiago the best. If he can steer this team through choppy waters, that should hopefully convince the Blazers or some other team to give him a HC job.
When I saw his name trending this morning, it was alarming after the Chauncey news. Really happy for him that he’s got such a big opportunity!
