From Mike Krzyzewski to Gregg Popovich. That is quite a transition for an assistant coach, in terms of who he gets to watch everyday.

After fulfilling his national team duties as part of Coach K’s staff, Monty Williams is expected to become a member of the San Antonio Spurs’ coaching staff, or in some other capacity, per ESPN’s Marc Stein.

USA Basketball assistant coach Monty Williams has been told he has a job waiting for him with the San Antonio Spurs next season, and he is expected to accept, according to league sources.

The specifics of what role Williams would fill and how much time he could commit have not yet been determined, but sources say San Antonio has opened the door to either a coaching and player-development role or a front-office position (or a hybrid), depending on what he prefers.

The coaching legend that is Popovich must have seen something very special in Williams to convince management that he is worth the investment.

Monty Williams has been a source of inspiration for people with the way he’s bouncing back in life after the demise of her beloved wife. With that, Williams’ character may have been one of the most intriguing aspects of his whole package to the Spurs.

A great partnership between a first-class organization and a first-class human being is in the offing.
