As part of the excellent DraftExpress coverage of the Final Four, Jonathan Givony took a minute to speak with Coach Popovich, who is in Germany with R.C. Buford and Dennis Lindsey on the scouting trip. Here is a little taste, but you’ll have to go to DraftExpress for the rest.

Jonathan Givony: When you’re watching games like these, are you still looking at them from the eyes of a coach? Seeing the stuff they run and trying to pick up a few things here and there?

Gregg Popovich: Oh sure. I’m much more anal in that sense. In this game for example I saw a great out of bounds play that I’m going to steal for sure. I like to see how different coaches manage the game. How they sub. What they’re doing offensively and defensively. There is always something you can learn. If you think there is nothing else to learn, than you better retire.

You can watch today’s Euroleague championship on ESPN360. The contest between PAO and CSKA is on right now, but will be available for replay-commercial free-through tomorrow afternoon.
