The teams will compete the two-game set Friday night. Popovich was ejected by offi cial Tony Brown with 3:56 remaining in the second quarter. Popovich screamed at Brown and entered the court follow- routs Florida in Cotton Bowl ing a non-call on DeMar DeRozan’s attempted layup and a subsequent at- tempted rebound by Drew Eubanks. Popovich was applauded as he exited the court by several of the team’s fam- ily members in attendance. Hammon took over the team’s hud- dles during timeouts and walked the sideline following Popovich’s ejec- tion. Hammon was the fi rst full-time female assistant coach in league his- tory. Tim Duncan took over last season when Popovich was ejected against Portland on Nov 16, 2019. The Hall of Famer opted not to return as assistant this season. A three-time All-American at Colo- rado State, Hammon played for the New York Liberty and San Antonio Stars in the WNBA as well as overseas before retiring to join Popovich’s staff in 2014.
