    Maybe old boomers (coaches)
    should retire and give younger coaches a chance to cement their legacy.

    Greg Popovich was a military head and there’s evidence he was an agent for America, Covid 19 is nothing but a cold for him

    All these famous people got the virus but not one of them died or even had to be hospitalized. Hospitals are empty and lying about cases. This panic is a farce.

      Yet there’s tons of regular people that do and these coaches are in that group

      Only fans of losing teams are saying this

      @david benitez

    Just set up a transparent half-height booth, where these old guys coach and shout, wearing masks. Sanitize hands once in a while. No kidding. Advice from Taiwan

    It’s already difficult and a lot of travel for these old men. I don’t wanna lose Pop or any of our Basketball elder statesmen

    They’re STILL grasping at straws? When thousands die each day? This is getting stupid.

    i dont think letting older coaches back is a good idea for their own safety. Covid19 is extremely deadly towards that age range. Some things are bigger than basketball, and we do not want to make choices we will regret later on.

      If business as usual before covid 19 were to resume before vaccine, the season should not resume for anyone. However, games without fans is much safer. Wearing ppe(n 95 mask, goggles, face shield) should be required for all coaches and officials.

    Spurs are the 12th seed 🤦🏿‍♂️

    AGREED, im PETRIFIED myself about this, which is why the season is VERY likely OVER

      Cancelling the season won’t make it safer next season
      We need a vaccine before any sports decide to start up
