Flip Saunders left a legacy and impact on the game of basketball that we
probably won’t completely understand.
With the Wolves hosting Flip Saunders Night on Feb. 15, we are taking a look at
what Saunders means to the game of basketball and how many lives he impacted on
and off the court.
We start with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.
Popovich and Saunders competed in the Western Conference from 1996-2005 and
again in 2014-15.
“Flip was what I call a lifer,” Popovich said. “He was always humorous, helpful,
sincere, somebody that you would jump into the foxhole with, without any doubt.
You miss the qualities and presence of people when they’re not here anymore and
my thoughts about him will linger for a long time. He’ll always be there.”
