This guy has been a flaming leftist and all-around Cuck forever, but I wonder how much of this bleating comes from the fact that the NBA players are nearly all black and he’s just playing to his audience, maybe not for him but other coaches who are under siege.
Pop is an U.S. Air Force Academy grad, who has a well earned reputation of being a hard driving, hard nosed, coach who demands unceasing attention to detail, and a low media/social media profile from his players.
When he team was lead by two hard working, detail oriented players, US Naval Academy graduate David Robinson, and then by the media phobic Tim Duncan, he could make that work.
Now, without a marquee player, much less one who flourishes in his demanding system, it is hard to get free agents to come to a small market, with a hard driving, hard nosed, coach who demands unceasing attention to detail, and a low media/social media profile from his players. You are far from the first to suspect his super wokeness of recent years is motivated at least in part in an attempt to ameliorate his reputation as the sort of coach modern players want no part of.
