Gregg Popvich admits he's a jerk.

[He Who Posts Well]

He was on LeBetard the other day and it was a great interview. I can't find the audio but deapspin has the transcripts.

Why he makes things so tough on courtside reporters:

"I know. I'm a jerk. I'm going to go ahead and admit it publically to the whole world.

Tell me what to do. What should I do? The quarter ends, you just got outscored by 12 points, they had eight offensive rebounds so the question will be ‘you just got outrebounded by X amount so what are you going to do about it?' I don't know. Am I going to make a trade during the timeout? I don't know. I'm going to do drills here for a while by the time the game starts, I don't know. I'm not going to do anything. I'm just going to go back to the bench and hope we play better. I don't know how to answer so sue me for being stupid and not having the answers to the questions.

(Host: Keep doing it, it's entertaining.) It entertains everybody but my wife. When I get home and she says ‘geez why are you so mean? You're a jerk, people hate you.' I go I'm sorry honey, I have to do better next time."

Pop is hilarious and doesn't get enough credit for what he has done with the Spurs.

i love those dry ass answers

'what could you do differently in the 2nd half?'

'score more points and get more stops'

its become customary in the NFL, but its really bizarre and out of place in basketball. theres never anything compelling thats come from it, just cookie cutter answers or in Pop's case pure disdain

Pop gets as much praise as gets in football.

As a spurs fan and native of SA....Coach Pop is the man....I really thought we were atleast going to make the finals last year, because I want Timmy to get his 5th ring

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Pop has grown on me over the years..

When Rodman was there I hated him, but now?



That whole halftime interview shyt is the worst too..

It's pointless and adds nothing..
