Popovich extended by Spurs

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has signed a contract extension that will keep him on the Spurs bench thru 2010-2011.

Spurs chairman Peter Holt told reporters last week that a handshake agreement was in place.

“If we never had a signed deal that would have been fine,” Holt said Tuesday. “That’s the way the relationship has always been.”
