Popovich inks extension

HEAD coach Gregg Popovich, who led San Antonio to a National Basketball Association title in June, has agreed to a multi-year contract extension, the Spurs announced on Wednesday on their website.

The 65-year-old Popovich has led San Antonio to five championships in his 18 years as coach of the team, including a five-game series win over the Miami Heat in this year’s final. The Spurs finished the regular season with the best record in the league at 62-20. Popovich was also named the NBA coach of the year this past season, marking the third time he took home the honor. He first won in 1996.
