In an interview with Rejecting The Screen podcast (which is a partner podcast with Locked On Spurs as part of the Locked On NBA Network) former NBA video coordinator turned journalist, Mo Dakhil, talked about what it was like for him moving from the Clippers and into the Spurs culture. “It was just night and day, It was a complete 180. It was how do they took care of the staff. Coach Pop all the way down, making sure all of the staff have everything they need. It really felt like the philosophy was like, ‘If everybody is in good situations, they’ll do good work’. I think it was just the care and how involved they were. Everybody had what they needed. Everybody was comfortable and in a good situation.
