The Spurs coach was not a HOF coach when he started. He didn't have respect right off the bat.
Snyder demands respect in the same way. People listen when he talks. Leaders will develop over time. Lebron was not a leader coming out. Neither was Jordan. It came with time.
I am not worried about it.
Pop was the Spurs general manager and VP of operations for three years before naming himself head coach in 1997 and he had the Admiral and Avery Johnson already on the team to go with Tim Duncan in his first year. Slightly different situation.
