\n Tom Thibodeau, a part of Team USA\u2019s coaching staff since 2014, elected to stay on when Gregg Popovich took controls in 2017 from Mike Krzyzewski.<\/p>\n

If Popovich didn\u2019t know then, he got to know Thibodeau\u2019s way coincided nicely with the Spurs way.<\/p>\n

\u201cTommy\u2019s a seasoned veteran who it goes without saying understands what wins what loses,\u2019\u2019 Popovich said Saturday on a Zoom call when asked by The Post about Thibodeau\u2019s Knicks hiring. \u201cHe knows how to put a program together, create a culture, be demanding. At the same time, make people accountable. It\u2019s easy to demand things, but making people accountable and wanting to play the right way is not something that\u2019s easy for everybody to do. But Tom knows it inside and out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Knicks need victories after seven straight seasons of missing the playoffs. That\u2019s startling considering Popovich is on a 21-year playoff streak, though it finally is expected to end in the Orlando bubble. The Spurs are four game<\/a>s out of the eighth seed with eight regular-season games to play. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll be a great choice to organize the situation there, develop a plan, start a culture stick to it and be persistent and get after it,\u2019\u2019 Popovich said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great choice.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Of the 11 coaching candidates, two were from Popovich\u2019s coaching tree \u2014 Ime Udoka, now with the Sixers, and Will Hardy, currently a Spurs assistant who has been mentioned as a possible Popovich successor.<\/p>\n

So has Spurs assistant Becky Hammon, who did not interview for the Knicks job. Either the Spurs declined permission or Hammon didn\u2019t think she could supplant Thibodeau. The Knicks had internal talks about Hammon.<\/p>\n

Asked if Hardy and Udoka are destined to get their chance, too, one day, Popovich said, \u201cOf course they will. If anybody has any sense, they\u2019ll get an opportunity.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
