		Popovich did rise from humble coaching roots, as an assistant at the Air Force Academy, then as the head coach at division III Pomona-Pitzer, to stints as an assistant with the Spurs and the Golden State Warriors, before being hired as the Spurs' general manager in the spring of 1994.

		COACH POPOVICH: Only problem with it is that Steve is involved, generates so many pick and rolls that that puts that defender in a tough situation also.
		It's two for one at the end of the quarter, all those things that point guards think about in keeping the team together and making wise decisions he's doing those things better.

		Larry Brown is on the local sports radio afternoon show a couple times a week, and usually, at least once each time, he mentions Popovich and how much he respects him as a coach, a "great" coach.
		Too often, Popovich gets obscured by Duncan, which is a shame because he is easily a top four coach along with Brown, Sloan, and Carlisle.
		Duncan, granted, is the anchor of the defense, but Popovich is responsible for the incredible disclipline and the great rotation.
