SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE

"I've said it pretty often over the years: As far as head coaches go, I have the easiest job in the league, because of [Duncan]," Popovich said.  "I mentioned how coachable he is and how he accepts what we do.  His ability to welcome other people into the program, to keep the standard where it's at, to set the example, and to do it, basically in an unobtrusive way."  
Duncan has helped Popovich win 751 games and four championships.  The reason their partnership has worked so well is because Popovich can coach Duncan... in other words, Duncam allows himself to be coached.
