Erin Popovich Cause Of Death: What Happened To Gregg Popovichs Wife?

The news that Erin Popovich, the wife of Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich, had died after a long struggle with what was said to be a respiratory condition startled the NBA world on Wednesday 2018

According to the San Antonio Express-News, Erin Popovich, 67, had been unwell since the 1990s. The Popoviches had been married for four decades, had two children, and had two grandchildren. Funeral plans have yet to be disclosed, and the team has requested that the public “respect the family’s privacy during this terrible time.”

Erin Popovich, a Colorado Springs native, was the daughter of Jim Conboy, the Air Force Academy’s athletic trainer for 43 years before his death in 1998.

Gregg Popovich graduated from the school, and Erin Popovich’s acquaintance with the daughter of former Spurs chairman Robert McDermott, a former Air Force general, aided his path to the Spurs. After a tenure with the Golden State Warriors, she persuaded her father to employ Gregg Popovich as general manager in 1994. He had previously worked as an assistant in San Antonio.

“Terrific Wife and Mother! She fought hard for a long time!! #RIP my Friend!!” Alabama Coach Avery Johnson wrote of Erin Popovich on Twitter. Like Kerr, Johnson played for, and won an NBA championship with, Gregg Popovich
