The Spurs Way

[homeytennis]

This was taken from an article on Rod Jensen who is an assistant coach at Washington State and in the past had been a head coach at Boise State and College of Idaho. Is suspect the Spurs way will be the Jazz way now with new GM.
"One of his most memorable experiences was a visit to San Antonio where he spent time observing the inner workings of the o San Antonio Spurs’ system.

“I was there spectating and visiting with Coach Popovich who was actually the coach of Pomona Pitzer when I was at the University of Redlands so we had that relationship there so it went way back,” he said.

“I probably enjoyed that as much as anything. Just their system, the way they do things. How every person they hired and every player they drafted was for a single purpose and that was the San Antonio way. I thought they just did a tremendous job of recruiting character people.”

The Spurs win championships and it’s well-known that defense is a critical part of what they do."

The Spurs are a great organization, but as Pop has openly admitted, their "secret" is Tim Duncan. Without Timmy they aren't viewed with this reverence.

Not to take away from Pop by the way, because he's the best.

Perhaps Favors will be our Duncan.

On the defensive side I think he can and that's a big deal. But I can't see it on the O side and that's okay. We are talking about a HOF player.

If Favors can finish more of those shots around the rim I think he puts up 15 and 10 while getting to the line a fair amount helping his efficiency.

Ummm...no. Just no. Quite a few small market teams lucked out and landed a superstar. Cleveland got Lebron, New Orleans - Paul, Orlando got Shaq and Howard. The difference is that San Antonio managed to keep their star happy, surrounded him with great players drafted at 28, 57 and 15, found a great coach and kept the franchise virtually intact for years despite occasional bad losses. And they also did many other things, big and small that made them very different from any other team in the league.

Regardless of what has been "admitted", the Spurs have had incredible success for nearly 15 years now. The Jazz, with a PF who's in the same league as Duncan, one of the greatest PGs of all time, and a HoF coach, didn't even capture a fraction of that success. Let's remain objective.
