Gregg Popovich could coach one more year before retiring, according to Marc Stein.
Per RealGM, Gregg Popovich recently set the record for most wins by a coach in NBA history. But that accomplishment doesn’t mean Popovich is walking away anytime soon.

If and when Popovich does decide to move on from coaching, San Antonio would reportedly like to keep the next hire in the organizational family. One name being linked to the job is Quin Snyder, who is currently the head coach of the Utah Jazz. Snyder previously worked in the Spurs organization, as the head coach of the Austin Spurs of the G League.
