"It should be common knowledge by now that he's an excellent coach," Popovich said. "He knows what wins and what loses. He's comfortable in his own skin. He teaches well, he's going to make fair demands on whoever is available. he's earned the respect of his players over the years and turned into a fine coach. He's not a young guy learning anymore. He's a helluva fine coach."
