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. Sources told ESPN that Williams -- who left the Oklahoma City Thunder's bench in February after the tragic death of his wife, Ingrid -- has been urged by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to take as much of a role with the organization as he feels comfortable for the 2016-17 campaign.

I had seen a week or two ago that he was back with Team USA but noticed it hadn't been discussed here. Looked into it more and found this from a few days ago. San Antonio will be a great place for him to start his career again. Its good to see him ready to get back on the bench and wish the best for him. Good luck Monty.

If I was a coach in the NBA, I'd give my left nut to learn from Pop.

Good for him. Smart career move.

SA is probably the perfect place for him to continue his coaching education.

I think if Monty could develop a respect and understanding of how to implement more modern offensive systems and matching defenses, he could be a really good coach given how good he is with players(generally speaking).

It's also a great place for his family since his in-laws live there.
