“Who are the most envied coaches in the NBA? The first two names that jump out are Gregg Popovich and Erik Spoelstra, and while it’s easy to look no further than “Duncan” and “LeBron” in explaining their situations, the Spurs and Heat are constructed in such a way that they meet every coach’s possible desire.
Yes, there’s plentiful talent on hand, but there’s also a stable, winning culture behind the scenes; a proven, steady and responsive management team providing support; a track record of respect for their signal-callers; and ownership groups that are committed to putting together a quality product year after year and decade after decade. The Spurs have had this stuff down pat for years; the Heat learned their lessons more recently, putting Spoelstra in a position where he was able to survive — and thrive — through the fire of 2011 to take the organization to new heights.”
