Tim Duncan on first win as head coach: It’s night and day to be in the big-boy chair
Duncan: I was the only one just standing there screaming at people — nonsensical stuff
Tim Duncan got his first win as head coach.
Duncan replaced Gregg Popovich that missed the game against the Charlotte Hornets for personal reasons.
Per ESPN, The team would not say if Popovich made the trip to Charlotte.
“It’s night and day to be in the big-boy chair," Duncan said. "But truth be told, I wasn’t in the big-boy chair. We’ve got [Spurs assistants] Becky [Hammon] and Will [Hardy] and Mitch [Johnson]. Mitch prepped the game for us, Becky and Will were making all the calls, and I was the only one just standing there screaming at people — nonsensical stuff.
"So we did it coach by committee, and it could’ve been any one of us up there and we would’ve done exactly the same stuff."
