San Antonio Spurs Hire Billy Donovan as Lead Assistant Coach
After Sean Sweeney’s departure to the Orlando Magic, Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson has hired Billy Donovan as the lead assistant coach. Donovan, a Hall of Famer with a successful college coaching background and NBA experience, previously coached the Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder. His expertise in player development and adaptable offensive and defensive schemes aligns well with the Spurs’ needs. This marks Johnson’s second consecutive successful hiring for his coaching staff.
