Every year after the Spurs are eliminated I nervously wait to see if Coach Popovich is retiring. That roster is getting old & Popovich is 60+, I don't see him staying through a major rebuilding effort the team is going to have to undergo in a couple of years.

Why would you go to the NBA? It makes no sense.
He will get more money at KU. I guarantee there's going to be another fat contract extension.
Besides, college coaches can stay in a job for 20 years. He is virtually untouchable at Kansas. he can get University Presidents fired. In the NBA, you're just a part of the carousel. And even if you wanted to go, why the HELL would anyone want to take over for Popvich? Duncan retires, Ginobili and Parker get older. Totally on the downhill. No thanks.
Maybe I'm being naive, but it just doesn't make sense to me.
