馬刺隊的制服組有個慣性：「六月工作，七月打包。」
從助理教練到制服組，每一年都有很多人才離開聖城，追求更高的職位
或更好的薪資。Pop和Buford鼓勵他們這麼做，也為他們感到開心，因為就
Sam Presti(雷霆總管)、Coach Bud(老鷹教練)等人來說，他們不只是馬刺的
雇員，更是好朋友，他們值得追求這些升遷與加薪的機會。
現在也有一位教練面臨挖角，但狀況卻與眾不同，因為他，Chip Engelland，
是一位與眾不同的教練。
SAN ANTONIO — The Spurs' staff has had a routine. Work in June, pack in July.
Assistants in the front office and coaching staff have annually left San
Antonio for a better title and a better salary elsewhere. Gregg Popovich and
R.C. Buford have encouraged them and been happy for them, because people such
as Sam Presti and Mike Budenholzer were not employees. They were friends who
deserved to move up and get an opportunity with another franchise.
But the situation involving the latest is unique.
Because Chip Engelland is unique.
套句Doc Rivers常說的話，NBA是個零和遊戲，最基本的籃球動作決定了結果：
投籃，投進者贏球，投失者輸球。雖然如此，值得注意的是多數球團並未特別鑽研
"進球"的機制。確實各隊教練們都有一套投籃練習，然而球員學到的多半只是小技巧
