In December, six weeks after his stroke, Popovich had not excluded a return, saying ironic: “No one is no longer excited to see me return to the bench that talented people who directed my rehabilitation process. They quickly learned that I am less coachable.”
Popovich confirmed at the end of February that he would not come back for the rest of the season.
“Mitch Johnson and its staff have done a great job, and the resolution and professionalism that the players have shown, remain together for a difficult season, was exceptional,” he said in a statement at the time. “I will continue to focus on my health in the hope of being able to return to training in the future.”
