St. Paul’s Sean Sweeney reportedly takes top assistant job with Spurs
Sean Sweeney is changing locations, but not leaving Texas.
The St. Paul product is leaving Dallas, where he spent the last four years serving as the Mavericks’ top assistant, for San Antonio, per an ESPN report.
Sweeney, a Cretin-Derham hall and University of St. Thomas product, will become the Spurs’ associate head coach under San Antonio head man Mitch Johnson.
NBA insider Marc Stein reported Sweeney’s contract was set to expire at the end of the month and that the Spurs were in “hot pursuit” of the coach.
Sweeney, who’s been a legitimate head coaching candidate who made a deep run in Phoenix’s head coaching search this offseason after helping guide Dallas to the 2022 West Finals and 2024 NBA Finals, now takes an elevated role on San Antonio’s staff, where he’ll work with the likes of Victor Wembanyama and the presumptive No. 2 pick in next week’s draft, incoming rookie guard Dylan Harper.
