> “No,” Kerr said bluntly when asked if he would coach Team USA after the Paris Games. “To me, it’s a two-year; it’s a cycle. Pop coached a World Cup and the Olympics, now it’s my turn to pass the baton

Feels like it really isn’t a two-year cycle at all, and we need some more consistency
ah yikes i tried manually typing in Lebron to contextualize “James” at the end but reddit isnt letting me edit the body post
Lebrob James
We know why
Erik Spoelstra licking his lips in the batters box
Pussy
Spoelstra would be great next. Mike Brown would be entertaining to have at the Olympics.
How sarcastic and hilarious

How many chips would he have to win to be seen as “better” all time than Pop? He’s one behind and he’s already done things Greg has never done. Pop never won back to back, he never went to 5 straight finals(not even 3 straight with a top ten all time player in duncan)
that one post exposed Kerr

Here comes Doc Rivers!
I’m a biased warriors fan and I think Steve Kerr is a great NBA coach. Idk if he is the guy for international though, I think his offenses are pretty hard to come in a learn right away according to a lot of players
Noone is beating a spo lead USA team
Thank god
Quin Snyder should be considered here. He has international coaching experience and an understanding of FIBA rules and game play.
How about Michael Malone?
“Showtime”
~Rick Carlisle probably
Lebrob Jame
Dude needs to actually play a big man next summer if that’s the case
He has other ambitions. Kerr-Popp 2028
Looking at history of Olympic USA basketball coaches, interesting to see that only Coach K and Henry Iba have opted to coach for more than one Olympics (both had 3). Personally, I would rather see longer coaching tenures to add more consistency but seems like this is more of the norm.
Okay cool, so can Spoelstra take over for the foreseeable future then?
Trae Young and Fox to the World Cup !
Bring in coach Spo
It seems like the only way to get posts from a subreddit to stop showing up in the official app’s r/all is to get banned from the subreddit.
So here we go: fuck shit bitch fuck the nba fuck r/nba fuck u/spez fuck shit nugget bitch damn. NBA astroturf garbage trashcan. Don’t make me say racist things to get banned, I’ll do it. Uh what else, tianenmen square 1989 they fuckin squished a guy holding grocery bags with a tank, so fucked up
Lets go, he was horrible
Thankfully. He sucked as a national team HC. He got embarrassed.
Kerr just got out coached. I’m not looking forward to the rotations in the olympics if he’s the coach.
the way it should be(looking at you coach K)
Good because he and pop both did a bad job
