When the news broke that Gregg Popovich will take over as the coach of Team USA in 2017, people on Twitter immediately were thrilled with the thought of an experienced coach with the right credentials taking over the team — and scared for what may happen in future interviews.
A few people also thought he should just be the President.
Only question is will it start an international incident when Pop stink eyes the "Talk about" question from the Icelandic media member

I'm glad Gregg Popovich wants to be the USA's basketball coach but he should really be our president.

I like the Gregg Popovich move if only for the remote possibility of a reporter from like Eurosport trying to interview him at halftime.

Long overdue for Popovich. Plus, with his military training, the Russians don't stand a chance. Neither does Canada…assuming they qualify.

Gregg Popovich will coach the USA. The basketball team, not the country. Yet.
