San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who worked one year for Larry Brown at KU, tells San Antonio’s WOAI-TV he may want to keep coaching a few more years, even after Tim Duncan retires. He has been the Spurs’ coach for 15 seasons.

“You do it as long as you go to training camp and the juices are flowing and you get excited about getting it started. And I know I’m like that because I was bouncing off the walls for weeks,” said Popovich, 62. “So, I’m pretty far away from wanting to sit back and have a pinot noir and watch a Robert Mitchum movie. I’m going to do it until the juice is gone, until there’s no juice. For right now. I love it. I’ll never have it better than this, so I’m going to enjoy it while it’s here.”

Former KU assistant coach R.C. Buford is general manager of the Spurs and a good friend of KU’s Self.
