The San Antonio Spurs’ coaching and general manager tree during the tenure of Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford has grown again this offseason with the hiring of Mike Budenholzer by the Atlanta Hawks and Brett Brown with the Philadelphia 76ers as head coaches.

Jacque Vaughn left the Spurs last season to become head coach of the Orlando Magic, while Mike Brown is back with the Cleveland Cavaliers and is also a former assistant of Popovich. Monty Williams also began his coaching career with the Spurs during the 04-05 season.

In terms of general manager positions, Danny Ferry (Hawks), Sam Presti (Oklahoma City Thunder), Dell Demps (New Orleans Pelicans), Kevin Pritchard (Indiana Pacers), Dennis Lindsey (Utah Jazz) and Rob Hennigan (Magic) all worked in the front office of the Spurs.

Chris Grant worked under Ferry with the Cavaliers before becoming his replacement, while Rich Cho was Presti’s assistant general manager with the Thunder before becoming GM of the Blazers and then now with the Charlotte Bobcats.

Michael Malone, now the head coach of the Sacramento Kings, worked for several seasons as an assistant to Brown with the Cavaliers.
