Back in the day San Antonio Express lead sports columist Kevin O'Keef was livid that Popovich named himself coach over Hill. O'Keef began a hatchet job on Pop and wrote whatever he could to get him fired....

The offshoot?...Pop goes on to win 5 championships and O'Keef is run out of town and out of the news business as far as I can tell. The moral?..If Herman is successful, Burton is toast

I remember that well. I was in New Braunfels at the time in the news biz. I became sort of a Spurs fan back then. Honestly, I didn't think Pop had a choice. I had no faith in Hill as a coach. He was off to something like a 3-17 start or something that year.

Pop took the reigns, started winning, Robinson broke his foot, Spurs fell down in the ranks and lucked into a lottery pick – who became Tim Duncan.

Those were the days.
