Gregg Popovich’s Finals Advise To Mike Budenholzer: ‘Figure It Out On Your Own’

As an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs, Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer won four NBA Championships under coaching legend Gregg Popovich.

Tonight, coach Bud will coach his first Finals game as a head coach. Since Gregg Popovich has won five titles in his head coaching career so far, he would appear to be a good source of information for Budenholzer when it comes to some pointers and advice. But we also know Pop and what to really expect from him.

This is also what the Spurs coach delivered.

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer, who was a Spurs assistant, joked Gregg Popovich has simply told him “you have to figure it out on your own” than relying on him for any Finals advice.
