A lot of change
Since Tottenham coach Popovich took over in December 1996, there have been 303 changes in the American Professional League training.
A handful of these were Interims, in place for a few games. But on average, the other teams have changed more than 10 times during the Bubovic race in San Antonio.
Brooklyn and Mevis changed the trainers 17 times during the Popovich training era. Sacramento did 16 times. Milwoki, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles Lakers, New York and Washington made 15 changes in that period. And when Phoenix rented the Mike Budenholzer replacement, 15 changes will be by Suns as well.
Pictures of stability in those years Bubovic: Miami and Utah has changed the coaches four times and Dallas has five times.
As far as the individual coaches themselves, during the Popovich era, four different coaches – two thousand ginsate, Doc Reves, Larry Brown and Mike Anthony – all trained on five different privileges.
The American Professional League training wins
Popovich is the professional pioneer in the US Professional League training victories with 1422 in the normal season and 1592 when adding post -season.
The new captain between the active coaches becomes the Milwoki river (1162 games in the normal season, 1,277 including the qualifiers). The Riveers Road to Hunting Popovich to get the regular season record means that it will have an average of 52 wins in the normal season in both the next five years.
Rick Carlel moves from Indiana to second place among active coaches with 993 wins in the normal season, followed by Spoilestra in Miami with 787.
He wins with one team
No one has more with one team, clearly, and this record may be very safe.
All victory came in the Popovich’s regular season with Tottenham and only someone else-Juiri Sloon, with 1127-Vaz with more than 800 with one team.
Spoelstra is 13 wins 800 with The Heat (except for the qualifiers), so it will certainly join this club next season. But it is still at least a decade from time to enter the number of Bubovic’s victory with Tottenham.
Register for other coaches
There are 24 coaches who went against Bubovic at least 30 times, including qualifying games. Among them, only four had recorded records against Bubovic. Phil Jackson went 41-30 in their meetings, Steve Care 28-17 went, Billy Dunovan went 19-16 and went Spoilestra 23-22.
They are not exactly infiltrated, of course. Jackson in the Celebrity Hall. Donovan is devoted this year. It is reasonable to think about Kerr and Spoelstra – coaches who have multiple championships in the American Professional League – will find their way there as well.
How many players?
Spears used 222 players during Bubovic’s term with Tottenham, and he did not count 77 games that he missed at the end of this season. More than that: as expected, the three adults of Tim Dunkan (1,643 including the qualifiers), Tony Parker (1424) and Mano Genopelli (1,275).
