Gregg Popovich says that there is no timeline for his retirement

Gregg Popovich said that there is no timetable for his retirement.

Popovich hopes to find a way to coach the Spurs and Team USA.

Per Jabari Young, via Pounding The Rock, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express News made the point to Pop that people care about how long he’s going to be on the sidelines, which Pop dismissed coyly as, “bologna:”

You get to a certain age and everyone goes, “How long are you gonna do this?” Well, how long are you going to be doing what you’re doing? When I can’t do it anymore, or don’t wanna do it, or people don’t wanna do it with me, then I’ll stop doing it.

When asked if Team USA would have any impact on how he would approach his coaching career in San Antonio, Popovich pointed to Duke Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, who was the head USA Men’s Basketball coach from 2006 to 2016:

It’s a humbling thought to coach that team, but it doesn’t preclude me from doing what I’m doing with the Spurs. I think Coach K (Krzyzewski) did a halfway decent job coaching Duke and winning over and over again with USA Basketball. He found a way to do it, so hopefully I can find a way to do it too and follow in his footsteps.
