The Spurs announced Friday that Popovich will no longer be head coach and is transitioning into the full-time role as the team's president of basketball operations.
Mitch Johnson, who served as acting head coach after Popovich had a mild stroke in November, takes over at the Spurs' helm.
Despite her previous ties to the Spurs organization, Hammon is quite content in the WNBA.
"If I were to ever make that jump again, you know it just has to be the right fit, right time, in front of the right people, with the right team," Hammon said.
Hammon credited Popovich for being "a huge reason" why she's a head coach and texted him Friday after hearing the news.
