Austin Spurs introduce new head coach Will Voigt
AUSTIN, Texas - With the San Antonio Spurs in rebuilding mode, the Austin Spurs should see a glut of young talent on the roster. And, they have a new head coach to help mold it.
FOX 7 Austin Sports Anchor John Hygh spoke with the new Austin Spurs head coach, Will Voigt.
WILL VOIGT: I mean it's incredible. Obviously, it's an exciting time around here with Victor's Wembanyama arrival. And for me sort of full circle moment you know. I cut my teeth in the video room here. And to have Pop support me through all that time and bring me back is really something I'm excited about.
JOHN HYGH: What do you feel like you bring to the table? Like you said, you kind of cut your chops through this organization.
WILL VOIGT: Yeah, I mean obviously, you know I understand the culture that's been instilled here. But since I've left. I think I've gained some valuable experience coaching in a lot of different places throughout the world, including the G League. I've coached in almost every level now. So, I understand how the G League can be not only an opportunity for an NBA roster, but also for an overseas roster. And hopefully that's something I can share with our guys.

WILL VOIGT: Well I think everybody's just excited about the youth movement here you know. I mean there's an electricity in the building already. Hopefully we can be a part of that. We want to develop these young guys and see them be a part of a championship team down the stretch.
JOHN HYGH: Developing, but you also want to win to, at your level, right?
WILL VOIGT: Well of course. I think development within a winning culture is a big part of the Spurs motto. So, absolutely want to win games, but we're also mindful of what the ultimate goal is. And that's producing players for the big club.
